Would you like fires with that?
Grease fire.
Someone in Belgium is crying.... man, fries in Belgium... I miss that.
to deliver the fries to a nearby Burger King
Burger King now has a BIG BOX STORE?? 4o Thousand POUNDS to one outlet??
Somewhere in the world, Moochelle Obama is crying.
Michelle Obama is said to have gone into Mourning!
Well it will save Burger King some time, since they already come pre-fried.
“Where’s the Beef?”
Wow. I’ve been to Prince Edward Island a couple of times. One of my in-laws bought a vacation house there. Most of the pastures, at least in that part of it, seemed to be covered with flourishing potato plants. So I guess it’s a logical place to pick up a huge truckload of potato chips.
They could turn this to their advantage by “re branding” them as Barbecued Fries!!
I mean Fries.
It’s bud the spud from the bright red mud
Rollin’ down the Highway smiling-
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud’s rig
And they’re from Prince Edward Island they’re from Prince Edward Island
Now from Charlottetown or from Summerside
They load him down for the big long ride
He jumps in the cab and he’s off with the pride Sobagos
He’s gotta catch the boat to make Tormentine & he heads up that old New Brunswick line
Through Montreal he comes just a flyin with another big load a potatoes.
It’s bud the spud from the bright red mud
Rollin’ down the Highway smiling-
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud’s rig
And they’re from Prince Edward Island they’re from Prince Edward Island
Now the Ontario Provincial Police don’t think mucha Bud...
Yeah the cops a been lookin for the son of a gun
That’s been rippin the tar off the 401-
They know the name on the truck shines up in the sun-”Green Gables.”
But he hits Toronto and it’s 7 O’Clock when he backs er up agin the terminal dock.
And the boys gather round just to hear him talk
About another big load a potatoes!
It’s bud the spud from the bright red mud
Rollin’ down the Highway smiling-
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud’s rig
And they’re from Prince Edward Island they’re from Prince Edward Island
Now I know a lot of people from east to west
That like the spuds from the island best.
Cause they’ll stand up to the hardest test-right on the table.
So when ya see that big truck rollin by- wave yer hand or kinda wink yer eye,
Cause that’s Bud the Spud from old PEI, with another big load a potatoes!
It’s bud the spud from the bright red mud
Rollin’ down the Highway smiling-
Slow-because he’s got another big load,
Of the best dog gone potatoes that’s ever been growed
they can still sell them! Gee,how many times has a customer in any restaurant request well done fries?
I’rl fry away, oh grory, I’rl fry away...
40,000 pounds of fries? There’s something not right about this story. That would be enough fries to feed this nation for about five years. I think decimal errors are involved here.
Great poem! And I would add that the first time we went to PEI, it was fairly early in the growing season, and all the potatoes were in flower. Huge, humped pastures full of flowers. A beautiful sight.
It’s actually the lyrics to the song “Bud the Spud” written and performed by the late Stompin’ Tom Conners, Canadian folk hero.
