Well, A Girl Potato
and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, And 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 to Western Canada
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 Lloyd
Robertson.
Lloyd
Robertson!
Mr. and Mrs.
Potato were very
upset.
They
told Yam she couldn't
possibly marry Lloyd Robertson because
he's
just.......
Are you ready for
this?
Are you
sure?
