And thus the beautiful are glad to have, The homely looking Potato. On the land, or on the sea, Wherever we may go, We are always glad to welcome The homely Potato. A practical and moral lesson This may plainly show, That though homely, our heart can be Like that of the homely Potato. I mean, give over! :-)
