Frieh am Mariye, aus em Bett tschumpe, in die Kich geh,

Mariyeschtick esse, awwer net viel…es gude Esse kummt um zwelf Uhr.
Zwette Koppche Kaffi drinke. Myusick aadrehe.
Gummbiere schaele, Selleri un Zwiwwel glee schneide: alles in en Haffe duh…koche losse.
Gedrickelte Welschkann griege un mit Wasser in en Haffe neischidde…koche losse.
Dritte Koppche Kafii drinke.
Offedier uffmache, uff es Welschhinkel gucke…reihe mit Brieh. Deckel an, Offedier zu.
Der Disch decke, Deller, Gawwle, Messer, Leffle raushole.
Meh Schtiehl vun en annere Schtubb hole.
Die Kich iss voll mit Geruche…mir kenne es schier gaar schmacke.
Grummbiere verdricke, Brot, Budder, Millich, Sals un Peffer neiduh…Filse iss reddi.
Braunzucker, Budder, Millich in de Gedrickelte Welschkann mixe…Welschkann iss reddi.
Dunkes koche. Welschhinkel aus re Offe bringe, hocke losse.
Brot uffwarme losse. Welschhinkel schneide. Alles uff dem Disch schtelle.
“Zeit zu esse, alles iss uff dem Disch, nau kumm’ mol Buwe!” greische.
Die Freindschaft versammele sich un hocke sich hie.
En grosse un hatzvolle Gebet gewwe.
“Nau schlag nei!” saage.
Esse, Schmunsle, Lache, Gschichte verzaehle.
Dankbar sei.
Good day Blog Reader! Well, now we are in November and that means that Thanksgiving is coming. This time I have written a short poem. Here is a little “Free Form” PA Dutch!
Early in the morning, jump out of bed, go into the kitchen,
get the turkey from the cellar, put it in the roasting pan.
Turn on the oven…heat up…put the turkey in, close the oven door.
Eat breakfast, but not too much…the good food is coming at twelve o’clock.
Drink a second cup of coffee. Turn the music on.
Peel potatoes, cut celery and onions: put everything in a pot…let it cook.
Get the dried corn and place it in a pot with water…let it cook.
Drink a third cup of coffee.
Open the oven door, look at the turkey…baste it with juice. Lid on, close the oven door.
Set the table, get plates, forks, knives, spoons.
Get more chairs from another room.
The kitchen is full of aromas…we can almost taste it.
Mash the potatoes, put in the bread, butter, milk, salt and pepper…filling is ready.
Mix the brown sugar, butter, and milk in the dried corn…corn is ready.
Cook the gravy. Bring the turkey out of the oven, let it sit.
Warm up the bread. Cut the turkey. Place everything on the table.
Yell out: “Time to eat, everything is on the table, come on now boys!”
The family is brought together and everyone sits down.
Give a big and a heartfelt prayer.
Say: “Now dig in!”
Eat, smile, laugh, tell stories.
Be thankful.
