Vegetables on the chopping board
Inaugurate a television recital..
I chop chop
Recital going on
The lady joins me harmoniously
Chopping, chopping, chopping
Chopping the brinjal, raga
Potato, tala, onion, lyric
Her vocal chords strain to wriggle
The accompaniments, onion shed laughing tears
Dissonant, discordant, cacophony
Screeches to countless decibels
I'm chopping lady's finger
My finger weeps red
So 'onion' was the comedian-villain vegetable there in the show making the 'lady' to injure her finger inadvertently! Your chopping board is rich with hilarious veggies...and the chopper blade humorous sharp...10
Let me quote from this lovely poem- - Chopping, chopping, chopping Chopping the brinjal, raga Potato, tala, onion, lyric Her vocal chords strain to wriggle The accompaniments, onion shed laughing tears Dissonant, discordant, cacophony Screeches to countless decibels I'm chopping lady's finger My finger weeps red
