Spud Love
Spud was a tater
Lookin’ for a mate or
Someone he could date or
Maybe just a friend.
Spud met Ida,
He took her for a ride-a
Through the countryside-a
And back home again.
Spud said “Baby,
Let’s be wed today be-
Fore another day be-
Cause I love you lots!”
Spud and Ida
Moved to the West side-a
Where they now reside-a
Raising tater tots.

From Don't Play with Your Food
Hotdogs strut, fishes fret, and celery runs amok in this playful collection of food related poems for children (and adults with childlike tendencies.) From the perils of life in a salad bowl to spicy dances behind cupboard doors, Brian Rock and John Moerner lead a poetic and playfully picturesque romp through the secret life of food.
