Once there were a Girl Potato and a Boy Potato
who had eyes for each other, and got married.
Soon they had a little, sweet potato,
which they called
‘Yam.'
Of course, they wanted the best for little Yam.
So, 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
‘French Fries.’
<><><><>
Also, 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 Gold’s,’
<><><><>
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 then sent
Yam to Idaho to school
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 B----w
<><><><>
Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very very upset.
They told Yam she couldn't possibly
marry Tom Brokaw because he's -------
<><><><>
Are you ready for this?
<><><><>
OK! Here it is!
<><><><>
He Is Just
