Oh onion!

Soon eyeballs will fall off their sockets
Seeing onion-price as it skyrockets
Neighbors are supplying
Additional onions for frying
But it's still burning holes in our pockets!

  1. Panicked cooks a-scramble
    Cooking, all in a shamble
    Now depressed and so poignant
    They forgot how the layered tyrant
    Used to make them cry and tremble

  2. Reminds me of '99 when I was in Delhi. We had a shortage back then as well. And I used to be so damn irritated, coz I so like onions! With every meal!

    Nice verse as usual, Aparna!
