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 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?
