Masher of the House


On Sila, we eat a lot of potatoes. I don't really like potatoes unless they are mashed. We agreed that I am the best at making mashed potatoes. I have been listening to the music from Les Miserables a lot in the last few months. Since I listen to that music and I mash the potatoes, it is fitting that I am called the "Masher of the House." I wrote these lyrics about myself.

Masher of the House
~ A song by Jack Rabbit Barnes to the tune of Master of the House from Les Miserables ~

Welcome diner
Sit on this chair
And meet the best
Cooker that cares

As for the wine
Throw it away
You’re here to dine
On just what we say

Rarely will you eat
Any yummy meat
So eat our potatoes
They're what we feed

Masher of the house
Smash that little spud
Put in cream and pepper
And then mix it up

Then stir it in the pot
Cook it a bit more
When you eat
The smell drifts out the open door

Glad to mash up a good meal
Doesn’t cost me any thing
Nothing gets you nothing
Every flavor's got a little zing

Masher of the house
Keeper of the cook
When we give potatoes
People want a look

Dinners almost here
Serve potatoes hot
Give them spuds
And they’ll look like they’ve just been shot

Everybody loves potatoes
Everybody eats with me
Just smashing some potatoes
Is not entirely what it needs

Masher of the house
Spatula's the tool
Mix, mash, and stir potatoes
'Til they look like gruel

Grasp the pot handle
Smash it til its dud
Tastes delicious even though
It looks like mud

Good mashed potatoes are the best
I'm everybody's favorite chef
I mashed the good potatoes
so they really really really are the best
