Valentine

I had a single, lonely onion, and nothing planned to do with it.

What to do? Let it decay on the shelf, and do no good?

Slice it, and make a simple pickle. It's better than anything you can buy.

 

'Valentine' is because of Carol Ann Duffy's poem of the same name:

 

I give you an onion.

Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,

possessive and faithful

as we are,

for as long as we are.

 

For RCMM, who loves poetry as much as me.
