Solanum Tuberosum
\nor Solanaceae
\nDiscovered by the Indigenous
\nIn the jungles so they say
\nDatura the thorn apple
\nAnd tobacco you can feel way
\nOut of it beyond the pale
\nHead in the clouds stuff you
\nSolanine aggressively
\nIt just might hold true<\/p>\n
The Tomato used a lot these days
\nAll different colours too
\nHenbane, Deadly Nightshade
\nThe potato true
\nEyes look into being
\nLeaves flowers and the fruit
\nAnd anywhere where there is light
\nGreen is by repute<\/p>\n
Poatato in their jackets
\nCut away all green
\nAll the eyes protruding
\nCan be a bit mean
\nNinety per cent water
\nThe rest of course is K
\nPotassium good for the muscles
\nSo the Indians say<\/p>\n
Protection against infection
\nFound in the vitamin C
\nA poultice of potatoes
\nLaid on one\u2019s back can be
\nMarvellous for the kidneys
\nEnsure no salt is used
\nWarm leave on for at least three hours
\nThen bury the pur\u00e9e
\nThe patient will be happier
\nThat thats out of the way<\/p>\n
Water in which potatoes have been boiled
\nWill clean up things
\nCopper silver old antiques
\nThe glowing light it brings
\nPotatoes will put on weight
\nThat much we do know
\nAnd tend to make folk
\nMore aggressive that\u2019s if you didn\u2019t know <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
