I'M Glad To Be An Onion - Star Contest

I'm glad to be an onion To have such wide 'a-peel' I shed my layers sensually Olfactory workers reel I do it in the kitchen One day I'll be on stage Juicy slices circling that pole My striptease all the rage June 28, 2020 You are a star Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nina Parmenter

There are more layers to your imagination than the normal poet peep, now you hit us with this onion poem that had us all weep (with tears of laughter) . . . ; )

I just hope that most of my layers are not just 'layers of fat.' Thank you for your kind words, Indiana! :) gw

You'll always be a star in my sky, Gershon. I'm starting to tear up now from that wafting onion sensation. Enjoy your day, my friend ~ John

Ha, ha! What's more powerful? -- An onion or the image of an onion? Food for thought, eh?! Thanks, Mark. Smiles, Gershon

I swear I could smell a peeled onion while I read this - That is one shameless onion!
