A crunchy vegetable
that comes in multiple sizes and shapes
they have layers
and make you cry
who told us this was okay?
They are in everything
all my favorite foods
no, thank you, please
I said no onions, jeez!
That is what I said
no onions.
no, I don't like them
please don't ask me to try them
no onions, please
wow, that smells good
what is that smell
did you say onions
Oh well
No, I still won't eat them
despite that yummy smell
Onions have layers,
didn't you hear
they are like ogres
I have plenty to fear
I won't eat them
you can't make me
I'll give them to my husband instead
I saw this trend from Donna! Write a rant about a food you hate. Here is hers on Marshmallows! Apparently, Paul doesn't like Almond Milk.

Team please stop putting onions in my fav foods
You’re right, they are in a lot of things. And sorry, I love them, not always but as an adult I understand the flavor better. Love your take on the prompt.
Onions are cute. They make you cry just for the sake of crying. I guess you don't like onions😍
This was great, even if I am an onion lover. I saw the title and thought of Shrek and read this in Shrek’s voice.
Wonderful. A taste we have in common! No onions, please.
😂😂 “No onions” is the way to go for sure!! Especially RAW
Nicely done. They don’t bother me, but just like you said… they smell much better than they taste, and they’re in everything! I personally almost never buy onions or cook with them. Only once a year, when I make a spicy bourbon chili. But I use pickled onion pearls for my chicken noodle soup, and green onion for chicken salad sandwiches.
I love your poem! I couldn't stop reading. Your writing was really well done!
Hahaha, as an Italian I can't possibly agree with you, but, I love your poem! Love the way you break down exactly what you hate about them and yes Almond Milk is death juice! Well done, Jazzy!
🤣🤣🤣. I love it!! Onions are so weird!! Agreed that any food that literally makes you cry should be consumed cautiously hahah I love onion flavor but can’t stand the texture of cooked ones. When I put them in soups I dice them really tiny so that the texture doesn’t bother me 🤷🏼♀️ Raw red onion in salad is fine though so idk what is is about them haha.
