SOLANUM TUBEROSUM, CIRCA 1956
(Potato supply expected to give out next month) T’S the last spud of winter, left sprouting alone. On the greengrocer’s shelf it lies there on its own, No more where it came from, the end of its line, The Last of the Murphies in search of a shrine. Should it be permitted to suffer eclipse And go unlamented the way of all chips? Unwept by the public, unsung by the crowdNo, pass round the hat. Let a fund be endowed To build a memorial, write a Te Deum, And purchase it for the Dominion Museum.
