Onion Boy juggled and told a good joke

but only made everyone cry

“There must be a way I can cheer up these folk!”

he said with a terrible sigh

“My act is just perfect but still it appears

my sulphurous fumes reduce people to tears!”

but chopped up and pan-fried and turned into soup

our humorous onion brought smiles to the group

    Reminds me of the lovely ‘Garden Gang’ books I used to read as a kid…. I always liked Oliver Onion best and refused to eat them for a while after reading the story…. :)
