i am a Potato


i am a

Potato

 

why does looking like a Potato mean i look bad?

a Potato has its own unique set of

lumps

bumps

 

but a Potato also has its virtues!

a Potato is versatile

 

Mashed Potatoes!

Baked Potatoes!

Potato Wedges!

French Fries!

Waffle Fries!

Hash Browns!

Tater Tots!

Potato Salad!

 

look at how wonderful a Potato is

being lumpy and bumpy doesn't mean anything

i think being a potato is a wonderful thing to be

you can be plain, seasoned, paired with other foods

i can DO so much i can BE so much

 

you have your own

lumps

bumps

but we are also other things appearance aside

and so i very much

pride myself in being a Potato
