Onion

 

Just a humble vegetable 
consider me, 
if you're able 

So much flavor 
packed inside 
In paper skin 
I do abide 

Cook me tender 
or slice me raw 
just use a good knife 
you don't need a saw 

Have you seen 
my circular layers? 
They make nice garnish 
(but not party favors) 

My flavor is strong 
but I'm good for you 
I might help 
with cold and flu 

I'm sorry if I 
made your breath stink 
and left a foul odor 
in your sink 

One more thing 
and I'll say goodbye 
I'm sorry if 
I made you cry
