It looks like a joke but shows unrest;
Serious matters sometimes suggest;

Quite true! Actually there is no real scarcity for onions. Those who want to reap extra profit create a kind of artificial scarcity! The large onions we purchase at exorbitant prices are often rotten! A genuine issue to be protested and you have cloaked it in humour!

Verily, the traders hoard a commodity for their profit motive and create an artificial scarcity. The poem provides an insight to the social issue.
