The Potato Family


         MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD AND YAM

  You know that potatoes have eyes; and a
 Mr. & Miss Potato Head had eyes for each other.
 They finally got married and had a little one----a
 real sweet Potato whom they called YAM.

  They wanted the best for little Yam, telling

 out West because she could get Scalloped.

  She told them she would stay on the straight

 high-class  Blue Belles or the ones from the
 other side of the tracks who advertise their

  Mr & Mrs. Potato Head wanted the best for Yam so
 they sent her to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University)
 where the Big Potatoes come from and when she
 graduated, she'd really be in the Chips.

  But one day she came home and said she was going
 to marry Tom Brokaw.

  Mr. & Mrs. Potato were very upset and said she
 couldn't marry him because he's just a
