Mr. ‘Tato Head (Preschool)

Mr. ‘Tato Head

I am really very angry
and I am very really mad.
I can’t find my happy face,
it’s gone and now I’m sad.

I was playing that dumb game
called Mr. ‘Tato Head,
and my big brother yelled at me.
I don’t like the things he said.

I was sticking in two eyes,
then I found a ‘just right’ nose,
but when I stuck his mouth in
that wasn’t where it goes,

so I pulled the mouth back out
and I stuck it back in … there,
but when I tried to give him ears,
his dumb mouth fell on my chair!

I pushed his mouth in one more time,
then I poked in both his shoes.
(I couldn’t find the purple hat,
but that’s what I always lose).

Then the whole thing fell apart!
Everything came all unhooked!
That’s when my brother yelled at me …
“Dork, ya don’t use a ‘tato that’s cooked!”

I think that is the way the toy was
when it was first released.
You only had the parts and used a real potato.
Cute children write here...
Stay safe..

This reminds me of the spud shooter my hubby brought home for our son...That uses the real taters to shoot little spuds all over my house! GREAT! LOL!
This is too cute and I can honestly say is still one of my favorite toys! :)
Love and Peace~

Ah, loved this CJ! You are a creative poet my friend...I would've never thought about writing about this guy...my granddaughter Jozie has the entire Mr. Potatoe Head clan in her toy box...she loves them, I'm going to save this one and read it to her later...I know she will love it as much as me. Enjoyed this very much...as always it is a pleasure to stop by and read your wonderful work!
Blessings,

Oh Gosh CJ, I remember playing tato head when he was just a little spud. (Groan) Your poetry always reminds me of listening to little Mo as she relates a new story and that's a talent.

Brings back so many memories of games such as these and I was useless at them all with no excuse - not even soggy taters! :)) Art and craft needs the patience which I seldom possess, though I enjoy the creativity and mess! You are positively gifted in your writes that are so immediate and relevent to today's child - and also to the adults that sorround them! I want to read you to my Grandchildren, so please, please publish volumes of them! TY Kate xx

Awww!
I used to love carving faces out of turnips when I was a kid. Ended up eating it when I got fed up.

Another delightfully animated CJ Heck original.

This one hits home. Being the eldest of eight I was in charge of keeping my siblings amused. Mr. Potato Head was one of the popular games. Hats odff to you, CJ, for bringing him back to this woman-child.
