Notes About The Poem

Mrs Potato Head

Mrs Potato Head
Mrs Potato Head's image surprised 
That can't be me it's someone else I see
I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized 
The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me.

That can't be me it's someone else I see
She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted 
The mirror tells lies, it’s true believe me
Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted.

She'd an idea that'd get weight shifted 
I still feel young in my heart and pint-sized 
Then cut herself to a chip, weight lifted
Mrs Potato Head's image surprised.
