The Life of Potato

I am jumping up and down trying to be noticed,
Screaming so the lady will just look my way.
OUCH! She just dropped me into her basket but,
I’m excited.

I am excited as if I found a pot of gold.
I am happy as a unicorn dancing on a rainbow but,
I’m as nervous as a kid doing a test.

We go to the house.
Oh, I think I spotted a mouse.
Sizzle splash I hear a bash.
Pots and pans I see a man.

This pale pasty potato will become more tanned.
I paced myself for the pan.
I can see a recipe on paper, pumpkin, paste and paste.
OH NO!!! The pain of the pan.

I have to get out of here!
BING, BONG, BANG!!!!!
I jumped I have to run far away as I can.

I am going to grow old and go into potato heaven.
