A tater tale

Well,A 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 factsof life.

They warned her about goingout and gettinghalf-baked,

so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad

Name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and

end up with a bunch ofTater Tots

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would gether into the sack and Make a rotten potato out of her!


But on the other hand sheWouldn'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 toEurope ,

Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam

To watch outfor the hard-boiled guys from Ireland .

And theGreasy 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 withthose 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. AndMrs. 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 forher, one-day Yam came homeAnd announced she was

going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They toldYam she couldn't possibly marry

Tom BrokawBecause he's just.......
