_______
you are a saute old fellow
whether gussy(sacked) up
in wine, ivory, gold yellow,
or tastefully seen in green!
_______
quite pungently romantic
and amorously aromatic
(though slippery-skinned)
you require running water
and sharp knife to cut in
fast as salsa dance partner
with hot peppers or garlic.
_______
as sweet layers peel off,
your heart risks exposure
but no fear, it’s not here
you prove elusive as ever
still eliciting tears wherever
you mince, slice or chop!
