Thread: "Hash browns" humble taters...

STRONG MAN:
Mashed potatoes cannot hurt you , darling
Mashed potatoes mean no harm
I have brought you mashed potatoes
From my mashed potato farm

LADY:
Take away your mashed potatoes
Leave them in the desert to dry
Take away your mashed potatoes –
You look like shepherd’s pie

BRASH MAN:
A packet of chips, a packet of chips,
Wrapped in the Daily Mail
Golden juicy and fried for a week
In the blubber of the Great White Whale

LADY:
Take away your fried potatoes
Use them to clean your ears
You can eat your fried potatoes
With birds-eye frozen tears

OLD MAN:
I have borne this baked potato
O’er the Generation Gap
Pray accept this baked potato
Let me lay it in your heated lap.

LADY:
Take away your baked potato
In your frusty musty van
Take away your baked potato
You potato-skinned old man

FRENCHMAN:
She rejected all potaoes
For a thousand nights and days
Till a Frenchman wooed and won her
With pommes de terre Lyonnaise.

LADY:
Oh my corrugated lover
So creamy and so brown
Let us fly across to Lyons
And lay our tubers down.
