I'm a Potato, good and great!

In the warm ground, here I grow,
Water me, that's all I know.
Sunshine, rain – they come each day,
That's how life goes, by the way.

I'm a potato, good and great!
Dig me up, don't be too late.
Boil me, fry me, bake me too –
In my jacket, I'll taste new.

I have many little eyes,
But they don't just watch the skies.
They are buds to let me grow,
New potatoes, row by row.

I'm a potato, good and great!
Dig me up, don't be too late.
Mash me up – that's nice and sweet,
I'm so yummy when you eat!

In the soup or vinaigrette,
For a cutlet – my secret's set.
Even chips are made from me –
Tasty, crunchy, as you see.

I'm a potato, good and great!
Dig me up, don't be too late.
Boil me, fry me, then just dill –
What a lovely, hearty meal!

Keep me in the basement cool,
So you don't be hungry, fool!
Eat a potato every day –
You'll be strong in every way!
