Onion Man Ditty

A Poem

Onion Man Ditty

The onion man took a stand
High above the city,
He looked out far, looked out wide
With eyes full of pity.

Off he threw his onion shoes,
Kicked em’ real quick,
He tossed his cloak of garlic skins
And made the folks right sick.

He lifted up his onion head,
Booming, booming out he said:

“Be fast and fearless,
Get wild and tough,
With a rim dim dackle,
And a ram dam ruff."

The onion man traveled the land
And brought to all good news,
Bringing trinkets, baubles, and fatty hams,
Till he’d ran his pockets through.

Though often lapsed his onion cash
He never lacked of loot,
Without a doubt you could always snag
An onion IOU.

And if that slip was loudly read,
Booming, booming out it said:

“Be fast and fearless,
Get wild and tough,
With a rim dim dackle,
And a ram dam ruff."

The onion man pranced and danced
He danced his onion dance,
He flipped and flailed without a fail
Until he dropped his pants.

And standing bare with but onion hair
He proudly, soundly proclaimed,
To all the world without a care
The pungence of his onion ways.

Damn loud enough to wake the dead,
Booming, booming out he said:

“Be fast and fearless,
Get wild and tough,
With a rim dim dackle,
And a ram dam ruff."
