once upon a time
there was a purple potato
purple potatos are the kind of thing that come every so often
not too often so you overlook their existence
and not too seldom so you notice them too much
purple potatos are the kind of potato you notice a bit but forget about after a while
sort of like the hottie you see on the bus every-so-often
you are perfectly aware of him
but you don't want him to know
you want him to think that a girl like you has better things to do than drool over a hottie
but you don't
too bad
you think about him time to time, wondering about him personal life
but after a few weeks you forget about him without knowing you've forgotten
purple potatos are kind of like of that hottie
except you don't drool over them
okay, maybe you will, when you're very very very hungery
but you definitely don't think about their personal life
this purple potato was special
it wanted to have a personal life
most purple potatos don't do anything more during their life than mope around waiting to be eaten or daydream about what's going to eat them
another thing about purple potatos is that they are completely open with each other
purple potatos do not keep secerts
purple potatos do not have anything personal either
it's an unspoken rule between themselves
this rule, however drove this particular purple potato nuts
it hated the experience of being boiled with other purple potatos in the pot
it hated the feel of laying down with other purple potatos in the huge freezer
it absolutely hated being packed with other 'select' purple potatos in a plastic bag
but what was a purple potato to do?
so our sad sad purple potato would lie sardine-like in the plastic bag and let it's mind wander on how it hoped *the lonesome trail to the motherly warmth would be
(*the lonesome trail to the mortherly warmth can be translated into down the digestive system and into the dirt)
unlike the other purple potatos in the bag, our tragic hero looked forward to a trail of solitude
it did not look upon the future with horror
it saw it as a long waited for chance to create it's whole new personal life
