Girl Potato and Boy Potato

[Kit Sober]

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..

Are you ready for this? ................................

Are you sure?............................

OK! Here it is! .......... He's just a A COMMON TATER !!
