Potatoes do not grow on trees - A poem

Potatoes do not grow on trees,

No branches strong enough to hold,

Their roots must stay deep in the earth,

To find the nutrients they are told.

​

The sun and rain give them their strength,

And soil their home and bed,

But trees cannot provide the space,

For potatoes to be fed.

​

Potatoes grow in rows so neat,

And underground they stay,

For they are not meant for the sky,

But for the ground to sway.

​

So let us honor the potato,

And all that it can be,

For though it may not grow on trees,

It nourishes you and me.

​

So let us be grateful for this,

A vegetable so true,

That though it doesn't grow on trees,

It still grows, strong and true.
