Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally
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?

And our rockin' chick guitarist can play sliding barre chords at the dinner. I looked at your gig pics. There aren't a lot of people that can play split barres and do it right. I'm impressed. La Bamba !

I'm getting hungry for pumpkin pie and whipped cream again. That's it, I gotta go get a big slice for dinner now with a mountain of whipped cream and an icy cold glass of moo juice. Hey, Ronnie Blue-eyes, ever ski down a mess-O whipped cream in Norway ? Cheer up, Ronnie. There's always a thunderstorm before ya see the rainbow and I know it's gonna end for ya. How ? Cuz I haven't heard of anybody building an ark of gopherwood lately. Who knows what a cubit is anymore anyway. Hang in there.
