You know that potatoes have eyes.... Well, Mr and Mrs Potato had eyes for each other. They finally got married and had a little one - a real SWEET POTATO whom they called "Yam".They wanted the best for little Yam, telling her about the facts of life. They warned her of going out and getting Half Baked because she could get Mashed, and get a bad name like Hot Potato, then end up with a bunch of Tator Tots. She said not to worry - no Mr McSpud would get her in the sack and make a rotten potato out of her. But she said she wouldn't stay home and be a Couch Potato either. She would get plenty of food and exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins. Mr and Mrs Potato warned Yam, before sending her to Europe, to watch out for the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland or the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. They also said that she should watch out for the Indians too when going out west, because she could get Scalloped. Mr and Mrs Potato wanted the best for Yam, so the sent her to "Idaho P U" (Potato University) from which the Big Potatoes come.; then, when she graduated she would really be in the Chips. But one day she came home and told them that she was going to marry Walter Cronkite, Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset. They told her that she couldn't marry him because he was just a...... COMMON TATER. |
