Notes About The Poem

Potato's Raw Lament

Alas! I'm just a roly-poly me.
When I was birthed, in dirt they had to dig!
More slender and chik I'd prefer to be.
But here I am - so common, round and big.

When I was birthed, in dirt they had to dig!
Trimmed in French style, I want to be a fry.
But here I am - so common, round and big.
I wish to be flavored and savored. Sigh!

Trimmed in French style, I want to be a fry.
More slender and chik I'd prefer to be.
I wish to be flavored and savored. Sigh!
Alas! I'm just a roly-poly me.

A fry might be slim, but there is nothing better than a versatile potato - baked overflowing with butter, sour cream, bacon, chives and cheese, tatertots, au gratin, gnocchi, etc!! Congrats on your win Andrea. Andrea Dietrich August 17, 2021 at 1:06 PM it is my very favorite of vegetables. Sadly, it's probably the worst one for me to eat because of all the stuff you just mentioned!
