THE POTATO STORY
You know that all potatoes have eyes. Well, Mr.. and Mrs.. Potato had eyes
for each other, and finally they got married and had a little sweet potato
whom 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, she was to watch out for the
Indians so she would not be 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 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 is just a. . .
. . . . . . are you ready for this?
. . . . are you sure you're ready for this?
