Well, 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 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 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…..ACOMMONTATER
