Congrats to @flowmaster @diebitch @sczed @beeber and @eolianpariah2 on Mischief Monday fun....

Ode to Potato

Eighto potato what you been upto,
Out the ground hanging around waiting to ate up
Grill you, spash around hot oil, boil you, smash you
Possibly top up mayo, eighto potato....
How we gonna get you down?

Blighty loves em, some not so much,
Famine blight, hunger of nation
Farmers turn soil in hope of great potatoes
Feasties as roasties, crispies, pie toppings,
Mashed ball cheesies, wedgies, breads or fried.

Line them up one by one you got to have at least
Eighto potato to make a plate to share with everyone.

The 'Eighto potato' rhyme throughout made this very much a fun little verse to say out loud!

When young skipping over ropes or elastic band we had many rhymes to sing out, "one potato, two potato, etc..." was one that came to mind, others would not pass the PC test today!

Ahh the innocence, or naivity, of youth.
Gosh, most commonplace language of twenty years ago wouldn't pass any PC test today - the world has shifted, and so many people havn't - it must be hard for some people to look around them and be dazed that they don't fit in any more and they don't know why.

Simply avoid the crowds, safer in the long run most don't understand if they never lived it!
