POTATO GIRL MESSAGE
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

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.

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!
