Tater Chips

You'll never get a single dud

When you are cooking with a spud.

I defy the plainest fool

To fix 'em so I will not drool.

Fried as chips, there's no debate –

You cannot not exaggerate

Their texture, flavor, ease of heft,

Whether bagged or whether cheffed.

Sitting through a football game

Without a bag would be a shame.

Wakes and weddings, or no reason –

They are never out of season.

I'll dip mine in anything

From sour cream to cotton string.

They are one snack that's excluded

From the junk that gets extruded.

Peerless, pure, potato chip –

I'll salt you with tears that drip

Down my flabby cheeks so quiet –

You're not included on my diet!
