Potato

They're red, they're white, they're brown
有的红，有的白，有的棕
They get that way underground
它们生来如此
There can't be much to do
没有更多的种类了
So now they have blue ones too
不过现在大家庭里又多了蓝色
We don't care what thay look like we'll eat them
我们在吃的时候不会在意它们的外表
Any way they can fit on our plate
不过它们很适合我们的土地
Every way we can conjure to heat them
我们可以魔幻般的烹食它
We're delighted and think they're just great
我们因此而愉悦，并且认为它们就是这么的好

有时我们剥开它的表皮
Sometimes we ditch the skin
去吃藏在其中的嫩肉
To eat what it's holding in
有时我们宁愿偷懒
Sometimes we'd rather please
就在外面沾上一层芝士
Have just the outside with cheese
它们有眼睛不过却没有脸庞
They have eyes but they do not have faces
我不清楚它们是否会感受到疼痛
I don't know if their feelings get hurt
通过在黑暗的泥土中寻找
By just hanging around in dark places
在他们居住的土中
Where they only can stare at the dirt

我觉得它的用处不止于此

相对于其他植物来说
I guess the use is scant
但是生长在我们眼中的它
For other parts of the plant
也只是被吃的马铃薯
But that which grows in view
我能想象到它们藏在土地里的
Is eating potato too
生长在爱荷华或缅因州的土地上
I imagine them under their acres
也许正在思考着是被剥去皮啊
Out in Idaho and up in Maine
还是被切成块啊还是烙成土豆饼啊或者是土豆泥啊
Maybe wondering if they'll be bakers
