Neva & Charlie's Stuffed Onions

Since this post is dedicated to this fabulous vegetable, I begin with this:

"Ode to the Onion
 
The onion's a wonderful  food
Which is not very hard to conclude
It has vitamin B
As well as some C
Those who eat them must surely be shrewd.

For your health it's entirely good
Makes your cholesterol low in your blood
It'll cut hypertension
And this I should mention
It's low cal raw, pickled, or stewed.

When an  onion is peeled I may cry
And, a logical question is why?
It's with joy that I weep
Through wet eyes do I peep
At the gourmet repast so near by.

The onion's a valuable root
Its picture was found with King Tut
In the Valley of Kings
With other good things
So its ancient and royal to boot.

Now an onion is one kind of lily
Though some people say that is silly
But believe it or not
That's a fact that we've got
Not something made up willy nilly."  ~ Gordon Deboo
