Blogging A to Z: P is for Johnny Potato VC

Now I have a  true “P” story to tell you folks tonight. (Believe it or not.) The story is about the potato you see below. I’ve called him Johnny and I’ve assigned him a place of privilege on my desk.

Johnny Potato relaxing with  Sgt Percy Pencil,  Corporal Dickie Pen, Bombardier  Bertie Biro and company.

Now Johnny is no ordinary potato. He is a very special potato. He is a potato who has survived extremely hazardous living conditions with little access to air, food and water. He has survived sustained bombardment from heavy objects and missiles. He has survived daily verbal and physical abuse at the hands of the enemy.

Readers, if Johnny Potato was a war veteran he would be awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery. For Johnny has done what no other potato has done before and what no other living creature would dare to even attempt.

So what exactly has Johnny Potato done?

Johnny Potato has spent six whole weeks in the depths of Master Benedict’s school rucksack.

Yes, that’s right. Six whole weeks.

Johnny Potato went into Master Benedict’s school rucksack on March 5th ready to face certain death as part of Operation Shepherd’s Pie. But, against all the odds and against all the hardships known to man and potato, Johnny has emerged victorious.

Johnny Potato is what we call in the UK a “Bloody Hero”
