The Amish Hit Girl

The Amish hit girl hits a snag--
Running you over with a buggy turned out to be
Harder than it looked;
See,
She wanted to dispatch you
Expeditiously,
But nooOooo...
She had to start the horses
One time, two times, three.

What, nothing to say?
Have you finally gone to the devil?
No more bonnets, no more scrapple?
The Amish hit girl
Can catch and grill you;
Take off her long black dress
And fucking thrill you.
She can quilt like a stone Dutch ho,
She can ring you without a phone,
Or just kill you.
The Amish hit girl...
Nice.

  2. It's tough on a working girl in this recession. Can't afford good horses. She could always try getting the next one drunk on moonshine then pushing him into the pig pen--no messy disposal problems that way.

  3. Love it! "take off her long black dress and fucking thrill you." and "ring you without a phone". Clever and sassy.

  4. What a way to welcome the new year in: a poem bashing the Amish that's a smashing success.

    "...stone Dutch ho" was my favorite part.

  5. There's never an Amish Girl around when you really need one. Then when one comes along she tries to trample you underfoot. Brilliant.

  6. Oh Shay - an Amish Hit Girl - what will you think of next??? I enjoyed this very much - thanks for the wake up poem!

  7. Ha! You would have thought... Oh right, this is Shay's space! A reminder never to underestimate a woman, whether she seems cowed by tradition or not.

  8. What does she charge? I may be in need of her services? And where do you pull lines like "stone Dutch ho" from anyway? I'd love to think of a line like that!

  9. LMAO! I fucking love this, even before I've had my coffee. Have you heard that it's call 'wet work' now? I'm still trying to figure out why a hit would be called 'wet work' unless it's the bloody factor...or maybe being fed to the fishes or put in wet concrete....

    Super fucking awesome, Shay. I even read it out loud to my husband. He said "WOW!" High praise indeed. :-) xoxo

  14. Sometimes you can't judge a book (or person) by its (her) cover!

  17. does the Amish Hit Girl "solve problems" for the Amish Mafia?

  18. There's an idea I somehow missed. High score for originality, Shay! Of all the least likely hit-persons, she would be last, but what about trace evidence in the traces?

  21. "The Amish hit girl", eh? Born with the ability churn butter at incredible speed. More powerful than a horse drawn buggy. Able to leap barns with a running start.

    I sense a movie here. Care to co-write the script with me?

  22. Oh, only you! An Amish hit girl... I will be remembering this (with a giggle) for some time...

  23. As always, truly entertaining and extremely clever.

  26. "She can quilt like a stone Dutch ho."

    Possibly the greatest line EVER.
