Thinking the potatoes I'd corral,
Would simply be sight.

When above the barrel they has

A chance that 1 would not have
To pay an Irish potato bill.

Potatoes big and a plenty.

From experience l ought to know
A thorough test goes to prove
Tubers in a barrel will not grow.

To replace this tonnage with the

British ships are being sunk, based on
the past sixty days, the average more
than thirty thousand tons day,
which would require that the United
