The secret to it all, my father said,
Is to burn the onions just a bit.
Of all the wisdom I have ever read,
I think that might have been the best of it.
In every situation I explore
I try to find the onions I should burn;
In some, I know, and therefore wonder more
What burning means for them, which, when I learn,
I do. Now, this might to be too trite,
And useless, since it's liberally used.
But still, the method always steers me right,
And never fails me, nor has it abused
My trust in it. Therefore, as I look
About at life, I do so as a cook.
