Potato

They're red, they're white, they're brown
有的紅，有的白，有的棕
They get that way underground
它們生來如此
There can't be much to do
沒有更多的種類了
So now they have blue ones too
不過現在大家庭裡又多了藍色
We don't care what thay look like we'll eat them
我們在吃的時候不會在意它們的外表
Any way they can fit on our plate
不過它們很適合我們的土地
Every way we can conjure to heat them
我們可以魔幻般的烹食它
We're delighted and think they're just great
我們因此而愉悅，並且認為它們就是這麼的好

有時我們剝開它的表皮
Sometimes we ditch the skin
去吃藏在其中的嫩肉
To eat what it's holding in
有時我們寧願偷懶
Sometimes we'd rather please
就在外面沾上一層芝士
Have just the outside with cheese
它們有眼睛不過卻沒有臉龐
They have eyes but they do not have faces
我不清楚它們是否會感受到疼痛
I don't know if their feelings get hurt
通過在黑暗的泥土中尋找
By just hanging around in dark places
在他們居住的土中
Where they only can stare at the dirt

我覺得它的用處不止於此

相對於其他植物來說
I guess the use is scant
但是生長在我們眼中的它
For other parts of the plant
也只是被吃的馬鈴薯
But that which grows in view
我能想像到它們藏在土地裡的
Is eating potato too
生長在愛荷華或緬因州的土地上
I imagine them under their acres
也許正在思考著是被剝去皮啊
Out in Idaho and up in Maine
還是被切成塊啊還是烙成土豆餅啊或者是土豆泥啊
Maybe wondering if they'll be bakers
