Ode to Potato
Can I count the ways I love thee?
Oh brown skinned delight.
Always so right.
Cut straight, cut round,
yet you make not a sound,
as I slice, and dice, and mash.
So different each time,
a flavour sublime.
I hardly need add to your delicate taste.
You don’t come in a box,
may taste good with fox?
But, on your own you’re just fine.
My rotund little friend,
favourite meal ‘til the end.
How I love a good baked potato…
(…with cheese)

This was written a while ago for a competition run on Wattpad by Mera2876. I think for some reason it had to have the words box and fox and a couple of others in it, but I found it sat on my pen drive, so thought I'd chuck it up for a laugh.
