Deleterious bulb is onion,
Yet India’s under-class
Insist on eating onion
With plain chappati, alas.
They will not eat a la carte,
Or proper branded food;
Their obstinacy
Is not to be understood.
Thus it is that government
Has found a protective device
By elevating the lowly onion
To a seven-star price.
What choice will the hoi polloi now have
But to yield to the lure
Of healthful foods so elegantly
Presented by Sanjeev Kapur?
So there are ways, and there are ways
Of weaning and atttrition
To save the cussed onion buff
From chronic malnutrition.
