If you know your onions
And your onions know you,
Then it is beyond doubt
That you’ll make a splendid stew.
But if your onions were soft
When you gave them poke,
Then your stew will be sadly
Beyond any hope.
Now carrots are a thing that
Can be misunderstood.
They should be left rather firm
But not as hard as any wood.
When it comes to flavouring
Please put in a dash of sage.
Take a wooden spoon and
Give it a stir at this stage.
Next just add the meat
And in the oven do place,
Whilst asking the cooking Gods
To bless it with some grace!
