State of the Onion
It seems as dry as parchment on the outside.
It’s certainly no appetizing treat.
Although it’s sorta juicy on the inside,
The taste of it is anything but sweet.
It’s the state of the onion.
It’s no big surprise;
The state of the onion brings tears to my eyes.
I listened to a speech tonight on TV,
An exercise in patient self-restraint.
I wasn’t really sure just what the point was,
But ended up convinced of what it ain’t.
It’s the state of the onion.
It’s no big surprise
The state of the onion brings tears to my eyes.
