Best Potato Poems

It's love when you enter a room and give me these butterflies.
No reason to try and hide keeping these emotions inside.
         You have me intoxicated from those sensations that you provide.
Woman you remind me of Sweet Potato...

Dear Lordy, what have you done
this loony spouse given me…
he rants and TV- clicks all night
much like a  freakish banshee!

Obsessed with horror movies
remote  control is life's drug:
This model needs rebooting,
It's time for urgent de-bug.

Couch Potato

You are sitting on my couch, now. 
You are watching TV with my kid. 
Yes, she is old enough to sit there. 
She is technically, All Grown Up!
That is not the issue. 

Be careful, 
You are ever being…
watched. 

For what? 

The way you are;
What...

There was a new potato that had just been harvest born
On opening his eyes a rooster crowed its horn.
He had grown rather quickly and grown rather strong
But that's when his feelings started to feel wrong.

Mr Potato had noticed he was feeling very sad
Sometimes it felt...

The grandfather on my mother's side was a cheapskate. 
A real cheapskate.
One Christmas, he gave me a used paperback book.
Something like “Jimmy Plays Baseball.”
It was written for a 7 year old child, and I was considerably older than that.
Still had “5 cents” written in pencil...

Packed with starch, protein
Provided for many
People called 'earth apple'
Placed at gold value once
Potassium rich veg
Peruvian produce
Peel, slice, fry and enjoy...

Sitting on the sofa
Munching on some chips
Not a care in the world
Of calories on the hips.

Slouched down on the cushion
The tv glued to his face
You ask him a question
But he's out in outer space.

You call him to the table
He won't leave his favorite chair
The sports...

POTATO PEELER

I want to peel potatoes all day long. 
I love peeling potatoes because of their lovely round shape 
and their lovely little nodules. I like to feel the earthy texture 
of their skin and I love to take a potato peeler to them. 

Just...

Old Joe the potato grower
Was beside himself in sorrow
For down at his boots
Was a hole so darn deep
His potato’s now resided in China...

Sweet potatoes, special cuts,
 Grandma's spices, nuts,
Raisins cooked in every bite.
Flaky crust baked light,
Cool whip heaped up high.
Thanksgiving –
Pie!...

The eyes fit into little holes;
The nose, ears, mouth do, too.
Of course, you have some choices
But not more than just a few.

The parts are made of plastic
Though way back in my own youth,
The body was a real potato - 
That's the doggone truth.

The toy came...

'Twas a horrible thing called the blight,
diseased potatoes a depressing sight,
starvation begone,
crossed over the pond,
arrived Ellis Island future looks bright.

My mom left me home alone
With nothing there to eat
So I took the bag of Lays Potato Chips
And decided to take a seat.

I wasn't too hungry,
I had just eaten cake
But this was an opportunity
I had to take.

I ate until my stomach hurt.
Everything grew tight, including...

I sit and I sit and I sit again,
Wondering why my neck hurts
And my body is losing her elasticity.
Eating brownies for fuel, knowing I am killing myself
Softly, and in a luxuriously relaxing way.

The brownies are gone, but I am not satisfied,
So I reach for the...
