goofy poem to prove I'm not morbid (Ode to an Onion) (Free verse) by greym0on
No other force on earth
Has the power to make people cry
Simply by being in their presence.
Mightiest of Vegetables -
You grow -
Underground.
And perhaps there is sensitivity to you...
A gentleness
Beneath all the layers...
Or perhaps I am being
Overly Romantic -
And you are simply -
An Onion.
Warrior Food -
Bane of Orthodontists.
Defender of Halitosis.
To think...
If Eve had tempted Adam
With you -
Instead of a paltry Apple...
We would still be roaming Paradise.
Great Onion -
Ruler of Indigestion...
But I am still stro nger than you.
And my only tribute -
To your Magnificence -
Is to sautee you,
And call you -
Quite Tasty.
