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!
