  Silly Verse

  1. THATRO

  “It’s very clear,” the raw onion said, tears streaming o’er his skin,

  “That you and I are miles apart; let’s end our life of sin.”

  The Hypnotist, with rueful smile, felt this was very logical

  Their relationship had, from first to last, been purely biological.

  The onion said, with motive cruel, “Take this, my parting gift

  A million tears for you to shed in memory of our rift.”

  The hypnotist, with watering eyes and now without her skill

  Realised at once that she’d been had, oh what a bitter pill.

  Revenge is sweet I’ve heard it said and this case proves it true,

  Our hypnotist became a cook and invented onion stew.
