Onion Cheese Dip Makes Grocers Cry

The recall is essential  
said the tearful grocer
 
I’m happy for the  
customers
who will not suffer
like  the thousand  
onion eaters
 
who were confined  
to toilets
bed pans  
and diapers
 
during the great
Salmonella purge
of twenty-twenty
 
but these are not  
tears of joy
 
...or from chopping  
in the kitchen
