Rosa is very bored. She sees Krash carrying bricks in a wheelbarrow and asks him what he is up to. Krash replies that he's building carrot barns. Rosa also wants to get into some kind of profession and goes to Chiko. He is playing a sailor. In his opinion, being a sailor is great: swim in the ocean, play with dolphins, feed seagulls, and when the sailor returns home, they will ask a poet to write everything he saw in a book. Rosa decides that she want to become a poet, but Chiko reminds her that Wally already fills said spot.

Meanwhile, Wally is trying to compose a poem but can't find a rhyme. Rosa begins observing his work, which the poet strongly dislikes. He offers Rosa a chance to compose poetry herself, confident that she will not succeed. To his surprise, she begins writing beautiful poems the whole day, while Wally tries to distract her with no success.

Tropes:

  • Bedsheet Ghost: When Wally tries to distract Rosa, he puts on a sheet with eye slits and bangs a mop on the table.
  • Continuity Nod: One of Wally's attempts distract Rosa has him puts on a shaman costume from "Meteorology".
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Rosa spends the episode trying to find a hobby for herself until she takes up poetry, although not for long.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: Wally tried to get rid of Rosa with various ways so she wouldn't interrupt his writing.
  • Unreliable Voiceover: The narrator's voice says that Rosa did everything around the house, managed to read a book, water the flowers and even write a meaningful haiku. She actually just blew some soap bubbles, knocked her hanger over, quickly fliped through the magazine, knocked the jug into the flowers and wrote "How are you, Rosa?" and "Boring" on the sheet.
