Violet the Cabbage Patch Friend

There is a woman named Violet and she loves to bring her friends over her house and visit them in the cabbage patch behind her house. Every day she likes to go out in the cabbage patch and make sure that there is a scarecrow that is happy and well adjusted. She named her scarecrow Ralph and she really likes his grin. Ralph is a big star and his straw hat is the largest of all the straw hats ever created. Ralph writes books on poetry even though he is inanimate in the cabbage patch. That is quite fine as the world bought all of his poetry and they even shared a cigar with him. It did not burn him down however because Violet always did make sure that there was anti-inflammatory spray on Ralph's scarecrow body. So the crows always stayed away and Violet could always have her friends over in her cabbage patch field. This was good. She had both purple and green cabbages. Sometimes there were even blue cabbages and even pink ones. The pink Cabbages tasted like cherry cola and they always were a prize for the children of the neighborhood to enjoy and take home to their own homes.
Violet stayed in the business of selling Rabbits that she found in her cabbage patch. Sadly, however, only the star struck persons would buy her Rabbits. These Rabbits were smart and courteous but they had a serious flaw... The rabbits did not like to smell flowers in the garden. They just ate the grass and hunted for other rabbit food in the vicinity of the homes that they might be purchased by. So if you meet Violet, please advise her that she is indeed a lady of keen skill and trust and that we always would enjoy a cabbage patch conversation. But that said, when will she invite us in for Tea? Thanks.
