Potatoes

 A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, 

Finally they got married, and had a little sweet

potato, which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out

And Getting

half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad

Name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and

end up with a bunch of

Tater Tots



Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get

her into the sack and Make a rotten potato out of her!

But on the other hand she Wouldn't stay home

and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get

Plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her

Shoestring Cousins.



When she went off to Europe, Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam

To watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland .

And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries.

And when she went out West,

To watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.



Yam said she would stay on the straight and

narrow And wouldn't associate with

those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other

Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all

the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'



Mr. And Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's

Potato University ) so that when she graduated she'd really

Be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home

And announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.



Tom Brokaw??????



Mr. And Mrs.

Potato were very upset.

They told

Yam she couldn't possibly marry

Tom Brokaw

Because he's just.......



Are you

ready for this?



Are

you sure?



OK!

Here it is!
