Potato Story
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 west, to wa! tch 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.......................
