A well famed potato farmer,
busy in job, round d’ year
Picks up breeds genuine,
toils hard with potato saplings
Irrigates fields with fresh water,
weeds out feeble, a routine chore
Protects herbs from pest attacks,
bloom lovely tender plants
Evidently to bear bounty crops,
dreams to harvest pretty potatoes
Harvesting season on,
on assigned date digging done
Done with utmost care,
potatoes ploughed out,
a lot of cheer
a lot of cheer
Dug a tidy way, no bruises made,
no single one gets damaged
Jut out of the black soil,
as if precious sparkling jewels!
Delicate sun,
cool breeze of winter,
cool breeze of winter,
a sigh of relief, its a crop bumper
But he was not fully done yet,
a patch of hard land still left
Plough defeated, even d' spade
shovels, mighty crowbars failed
Work ought to be kept at bay,
pending for the next day
For d' stubborn patch,
final trial made,
final trial made,
heavy shovel plunged,
in to d' earthen bed
in to d' earthen bed
Discovered with utter surprise,
it’s a POTATO OF BIG SIZE
almost covering entire spot
biggest potato of d’ planet!
How to dig it out, out of earth,
can’t carry in a tractor or truck
Obviously a bone breaking task,
who to consult, whom to ask!
Just then a Giant was passing by,
agreed to dig out & for lunch to
try
Pulled d’ potato out of d’ ground,
with a huge thud, a splitting sound
Carried to a restaurant, close by,
split
it for a curry & a part for fry
soon spread news in d’ tiny town,
so huge a potato, none ever seen
Must be tasty, each wished to try
tempted to relish d’ curry & d’ fry
Giant ate its share, departed in hurry
Men couldn’t eat, it’s no potato curry,
D’ one who tried first, was in shock,
it’s no potato, a hard marble rock
