Locker Tails
The Potato and the Tomato
Every Wednesday here at school
The teachers think it’s really cool
'Cause while the students get pizza and such
Teachers can have potatoes for lunch!
Well, on this one particular day
The Principal's potato made her say,
“Oh WOW, my potato is SUPERSIZE!
I think it could make a billion fries!”
“I’d really rather have a smaller one, please.”
She said to the Cafeteria Lady with unease.
“But we need to get a picture you know
And put it on our Morning Show.”
“I’ll write a poem to go with clip!”
Said The Vice Principal as he tapped his lip.
“This spud is GINORMOUS! How can we show?”
So we posed it with a little tomato.
The potato and tomato remind us this way
How thankful we all should be every day
For food and fun at a place so cool
Here at our Catholic school.
And, by the way, who ate it? You want to know?
That GINOUMOUS potato the size of Idaho?
It was The Third Grade Teacher who said, “I’ll give it a try!”
And there was nothing left but skins and a gleam in her eye!
