THE POTATO, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "I'm a careless potato, and care not a pin" Last Line: When the earth is hoed up to my stem Subject(s): Potatoes | ||||||||
I 'M a careless potato, and care not a pin How into existence I came; If they planted me drill-wise or dibbled me in, To me 't is exactly the same. The bean and the pea may more loftily tower, But I care not a button for them; Defiance I nod with my beautiful flower When the earth is hoed up to my stem. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CELLAR by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CONCERNING NECESSITY by HAYDEN CARRUTH MISHIPASINGHAN, LUMCHIPAMUDANA, ETC by ALBERT GOLDBARTH ROAST POTATOES by DENISE LEVERTOV THIS SPUD'S FOR YOU by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SEEING A BASKET OF LOBELIA THE COLOR OF A BATHROBE by MOLLY PEACOCK THE DUCHESS POTATOES by DIANE WAKOSKI THAT THE SCIENCE OF CARTOGRAPHY IS LIMITED by EAVAN BOLAND TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
