Potato (almost didactic)

a quasi didactic poem about potatoes.

Potato 

 (almost didactic)

Let your potato grow

Water it monthly in Earth like soil

Become one with the potato

Keep it out of the reach of children

Become two potatoes if you must

Multiply them by ten then subtract

Watch TV with dip and chips

Become a couch potato

Sit

Protect spuds from direct sun light

Cradle them in the land of humanity

Dry them one by one

Bury them underground with trust

Make potatoes stay in one place

And not another

Rotate them frequently

Potatoes are alive

Rocks are not

Keep them in your pockets

Smother them with butter

Make your potatoes baked, boiled or fried

Lead them not into oil

Lead them not into temptation

Bring your potatoes to church

Don’t expect them to pray

They will not
