Potatoes

Well,A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other
And finally they got married, and had a little sweet Potato, which theyá 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.
á 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,á '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.áPotato 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!

He's just A COMMONTATER
