The Idaho spud, he was short and round
The color of dirt, and his eyes were brown
He had the time to grow in the mud
And there never was a tuber like the Idaho spud

Your turn!

Cheers,
Michael

The Maryland crab was soft and blue
smothered in spices and boiled too
Lather on butter by the drib or drab
No other crustacean like the Maryland Crab

The Texas Shrub was a lyin' fool
Lied on the job and lied in school,
Jes' compensatin' for a sawed-off stub,
Never was a fool like that Texas Shrub

The Brussels Sprouts were round and squat,
Floated around in a bubbling pot,
Some were brown and some were green
And they smelt like they came from a bad latrine.

Oh BC bud grows tall and green
Hidin in your basement where it can't be seen
If you've got the nerve and a thousand watt flood
You can make a lot of money growin BC Bud

Lost my job fallin' in two thousand one
When the Yankees raised their softwood gun
Spread a little seed in the loggin slash
Out there with the fireweed, my BC stash.

Oh my BC bud grows tall and green
In a pretty cuttin' block by a bubblin' stream
Fifty thousand dollars just wavin' in the mud
Gonna double my pay with my BC bud.

gee, I could go on and make this into a saga.

Ain't nothing as tasty as the old crawdad
ugliest bug that you've ever had
the scream as they drop in can be a might bad
but there ain't nothin'as tasty as the old crawdad

Here's one from the UK:

Well Anthony Blair he's a one-man band
He plays guitar and he governs our land
He's been lookin' all around but he still can't see
Where those guys have been hidin' their dubya emm dee

Cheers

i was in idaho recently and saw many busses with idaho environmental engineering or some such labels on em--probably coming from the nuke dump site..then i heard that last wed. july 16 there wAS A WHITE TRaIN or nuke train that went across the country form n.y. to the idaho dump site with a load of crap that had been on hold since 9-11.
they plan to store it there until they can bury it in that proposed nuke dump site in nevada--the salt mines--yuck. oh yes--yucca flats.
when at a protest march in nevada to speak out against nuclear testing
in nevada, the busses whch caried workers to a from the site there i believe were laidlaw...and the guARDS were from some out fit like Whackenhut...spooky.
and on another note....i could not help but sing Cheryl Wheeler's song
about the potato while in idaho. to the tune of the mexican hat dance..they have eyes but they do not have faces....they get that way while underground....imagine them under their acres out in idaho or up in maine....wondering if they will be bakers or kinishes or lattkes or plain.....po-ta-to--po-ta-to-po-ta-to-
-etc...

Sorry, Michael. Still, it is interesting to see convergent theories come together.

Laurel, you were in Idaho and didn't stop in?

The Idaho National Electronic and Engineering Laboratory is the site of Nuclear Reactor #1, the first electrical generating reactor in the US.It is now an historical site with guided tours. The lyrics in the DT mention the NEC wanting to send more waste to the INEEL. When Cecil Andrus was governor of Idaho, he stationed fully armed Idaho State Police at the state borders and stopped the shipments.

When Batt became governor he started allowing shipments back in. Now that Dickhead Kempthorne is gov.,there's no stopping them.

Amos' verse is up toward the top. Here's a followup.

The Texas shrub was a mean little squirt.
If you took off your hat, he'd steal your shirt.
Unless you was rich, or a friend of his Poppy --
Of whom he was a pipsqueak copy.

My parody, I don't think would sit well. I wrote one a long time ago,
about a year or two back. It was more so a parody to myself, rather
than to "The Tennessee Stud". It just went along with the tune, if
you ask me.
It's depressing, but with a humorous light. I'll post it when I dig
it out of my dusty songbooks.

The great 'Old English' potato,
The best in the world so I'm told.
But it always smells dry and musty,
Though worth its weight in gold.

But give me a 'New potato,
To make my mash or chips.
Though I don't really care for the inches,
They puts on my belly and hips.
