Sammy
Once upon a time, Lived Sammy the gator
A gator known well for his cooking
He ran the range like everyone else,
But one thing had everyone looking.
Most are not known for their cooking of veggies,
But the exception is this alligator
Sammy knew well, and so very well
Just how to cook a tater.
He’d wash them and skin them, and chop them and dice them,
Til they were just perfect to go in the pan
By the time he got through cooking up them taters
They were the best known to beast or man.
The next time you sit down to the dinner table and see
A big ol’ bowl of fried taters
Remember the one who fried them
And remember Sammy the gator.
