Carbon Dating A Potato

She was loaded like a baked potato
Stuffed with bacon bits, butter, chives and sour cream
Her boyfriend had to rent a Winnebago
Just to date this scrumptious version of a Best Western American Dream,
He was amped real thin and wiry with crossbones cast eyes
Such a paladin pales in comparison to this hero
She made him go out in a storm to bring back a big burrito
Oh such a crime some jobs don't pay enough
To buy all we see advertised on the TV
But when pigs that fly fling pies at the skies
You are better off eating a tomato
She was loaded like a baked potato

An enjoyable vignette, All Yhe Salon folks :>)
The description of the potato is quite delicious. Applied to a lady, it is intriguing too. The contrast between the figures is comical and we appreciate the alliteration, not to mention a touch of Gershwin in the final rhymes. Woo-hoos!
