THE TRYST, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: Potato was deep in the dark under ground Last Line: Till they met in a brunswick stew. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Food & Eating; Potatoes; Tomatoes | |||
Potato was deep in the dark under ground, Tomato, above in the light. The little Tomato was ruddy and round, The little Potato was white. And redder and redder she rounded above, And paler and paler he grew, And neither suspected a mutual love Till they met in a Brunswick stew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAUGHING TOMATOES by FRANCISCO X.
