The Onion
The onion is a tasty veg,
In red and white and green.
The Spanish type is big and round,
And often to be seen,
The flavour strong,
And never wrong,
To use in anything.
It has a scent that fills the nose
And makes the eyes to stream
The biggest ones are sweeter yet,
And make a soup of dreams.
The red are mild,
And sweeter still.
They bring a subtler flavour,
In salads, breads and
Sandwiches,
A food that's made
To savour.
The green are fine,
A hearty bunch, nor
But the root is wasted.
In stir fry, salad, snack
Or lunch,
A fine thing to be tasted.
Shallots are small and tasty too,
And so are lovely chives,
All are types of allium,
That brighten up our lives.
The humble onion everywhere
They even sprout fine flowers,
Across the world
They bring us taste
They keep us well,
A vegetable of Power!
