Must be Beef and Taters

Beef and taters are a meal thought Dad
Didn’t want Italian, which he never had
Refused to try chicken, pork or fish
Beef and taters were his only dish

Would not eat pasta, it did not look good
Brought home steak from the farm when he could
Liked potatoes broiled, stuffed, cheesed and baked
Beef and taters are for what he ached.

Common Taters

A tuber in search of some views
thought his wit would surely amuse.
Lest I’m misconstrued,
you talk too much, dude;
just show how you changed the damned fuse.

Taters and Maters

I say taters instead of potatoes
I say maters instead of tomatoes
My tongue is full of hillbilly idioms
I often say yeah when some would say yes
Sometimes I say “I reckon” when what I mean
Is I suppose this or that is best

I hear hearts instead of words or phrases
It is often the feelings expressed
That brings my mind

Our Taters

Our first freaking snowfall though light in nature
An omen of what's coming, surely much much greater
Yuksie I say to that
What kind of habitat
Are we nuts, have we lost control of our taters

Taters

clap for mashed potatoes
gravy on the side

ketchup smothered
is how i like my fries

love a baked potato
stuffed with everything

even like them broiled
butter and sour cream

hash browns grilled with onions
get my taste buds jumping

sometimes like them fancied
dressed up in au gratin

slurping of the soup
sprinkled down with parsley

even eat them raw sometimes
though the taste is gnarly

smoked me a

Meat and Taters

Meat and Taters

I savor meat and taters but tofu and sushi make me barf!

Digging Taters

Digging 'taters by headlights
Can be a bit of a trick
Having to feel in the ground for spuds
Becomes the best approach

Headlights makes shadows
Shadows are darkness
Darkness doesn't give much vision

It is a faith of sorts to feel in the dirt
pushing the thought of a snake
or toad out of the back of my mind.
My reward is a creamy

New Socks and Fried Taters

Two of my favorite things in the whole wide world.
Nothing could be better to this old country girl.
My idea of a perfectly euphoric day;
New socks neath my table and fried taters on my plate.

If I had the means, I'd buy new socks each day,
and with shear delight, I'd give yesterday's away.
No need for gifts of

Taters N Gravy

taters n gravy
taters n gravy
oh how I love
the taters n gravy
taters is white
gravy is brown
I live in Mississippi
in a real little town
some folks is brown
some folks is white
seems like to me
they do nothing but fight
if taters is ok
and gravy makes em good
why can't folks get along
like taters n gravy should

I'M a Meat and Taters Guy

I can tolerate most any grub that is placed upon my plate,
Though I must be somewhat selective so as to control my weight!
I love a juicy New Yawk steak and taters with a slab of cherry pie,
'Cause I'm strictly a meat and taters sort of guy!

There ain't nothin' as tasty as a meatloaf with smashed

Taters

They're known by many names - taters, potatos, pertaters and spuds.
As a Hoosier lad I toiled hoein' taters and flickin' bugs off their buds!
So I was very well qualified when I entered the service, by and large,
When 'volunteered' for kitchen police to peel taters by a mean old sarge!

There's even a National Potato Day observed
