Oh  my dear  Potato

 

Translated  by

(Post of  Ms Seetha Narayanan  put in my own words .Thanks to her)

You hid yourself inside,

Increased  the cost  of Dosa

And became   the masal dosa,

Oh Potato  you are great

 

You  stood  bside Poori ,

And did become  Poori masala,

You hid   yourself  inside Maida,

And you beca,e  Samosa

 

You went  inside a poori,

Aong with other  things and became pani poori

And  made  thin and fried in oil,

You became  golden  chips

 

You became friends with peas and became Podi mas

You  made partnership  with chana flour and  became Koottu

You became friends  with Pav and chillies and became Vada Pav

And taking incarnation  you are  become bonda  and Bajji

 

Though  the doctors  warn us  not to take you ,

Because  you who are  solid  will cause Gas,

Without  you, most  of the people  of the world,

Cannot  spend   a  day  with joy and Happiness
