The Story Of Yam: You know that all potatoes have eyes.

The Story Of Yam:
You know that all potatoes have eyes. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes for
each other and they finally got married and had a little one, a real sweet
Potato, whom they called 'Yam.'
They wanted the best for little Yam, telling her all about the facts of
life. They warned her about going out and getting half baked because she
could get Mashed, get a bad name like 'Hot Potato,' and then end up with a
bunch of Tater Tots.
Yam said not to worry, that no Mr. McSpud would get her in the sack and make
a Rotten Potato out of her!
But she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She would get
plenty of food and exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring
cousins.
Mr. and Mrs. Potato even told her about going off to Europe and to watch out
for the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland. And even the greasy guys from France
called the French Fries. They also said she should watch out for the Indians
when going out west because she could get Scalloped.
Yam told them she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't
associate with those high class Blue Belles or the ones from the other side
of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks you see around
town that say, 'Frito Lay.'
Mr. & Mrs. Potato wanted the best for Yam, so they sent her to Idaho P.U.,
that's Potato University, where the Big Potatoes come from. When she
graduates, she'll really be in the Chips.
One day Yam came home and said she was going to marry Tom Brokaw. Mr. and
Mrs. Potato were very upset and said she couldn't marry him because Tom
Brokaw is just a commentator.
