Ode to a Pickled Onion

Ode to a Pickled Onion

You look so innocent
Sitting in the sink
Until you’ve been topped and tailed
And then comes the stink

Layer after layer
Of skin must be removed
Pile them on a dish
I’m sure Haywood’s would approve

The scent of onions up your nose
Your eyes are full of tears
Lay them on a dish, cover them with salt
Pickling time will soon be here

Put them into the jar
And pour the vinegar on
Screw on the lid nice and tight
Or soon they’ll all be gone

They’ve sat a while and pickled
And now they’re ready to eat
Nice and crunchy, very tart
They really are a treat

Yum
