The object of the exercise is to Analyse this poem,it may be very difficult for some of you as
most of you have still failed to grasp the underlying meaning of "what the hell man"
Nevertheless there are some among you that have insight.And Bart is not one of them .
Oh,that some inventive man,
Would patent, make and sell,
An onion with an onion's taste
But with a violet's smell.
Wazza.

But would you want to eat a violet. There is no flower I would like to eat. Except the lady flower.

There are smart and cunning men in the world.
Some of them have taken ordinary things, things people come in contact on a regular basis.
Change a minute detail about this thing, possibly the worst part about it.
Sell it back to us as a completely different thing.
We are non the wiser and give praise to this man for selling us the shit without the stink.
Just a guess.

It's a metaphor for god, who else could change how an onion smells?
all veggies give me gas.

The underlying contradiction and complexity in this masterful poetical writ is that the sense of taste, especially in the case of an onion is based on it's smell. If one were to invent an onion that smelled of violets, then it would stand to reason that it would taste of violets as well in the current scheme of things.
It is the author's wish that that scheme be fundamentally altered such that this dependency no longer exists. This is undoubtedly a metahor for the limitations of man and his perspective on life through the use of the five senses, and the plea for the 'inventor' [God] to 'invent' such a fruit is equivalent to petitioning God for an elementary divination of mankind's present state.
Furthermore, it has oft been said that when the sense of smell is eliminated, the onion tastes like an apple, which, as we know, is not only a flowering fruit, but just happens to be the Biblical representation of 'knowledge'. Therein lies the paradox and complexity of this piece: that the author at once wants to ascend to heaven, but wishes to retain the knowledge of the world... It is an ancient paradox that has vexed man since the dawn of religious thought.

I'll bite. (forgive the pun) An onion is good for you, has a neutral taste and can make your eyes water - sometimes uncomfortably; Remove the onion gas or vapour and replace with the scent of a nice flower and it would seem you now have the best of both worlds. e.g. a good and healthy food that also smells nice. Not only that but I remembered to give you the correct rating :-)

I don't know. Violets? This just sounds more like something a cunt would do, unless the "inventive man" is a faggot.

A smart person will find something many people love, and find the flaw that people find with it, change it, and make money off of it.

Your meter is off, though: 7-6-8-7. That's too messy. Try changing it all to trimeter, something like this:
Oh some inventive man,
Should patent make and sell,
(blank...?) da di da di da di,
But with a vi'lets smell.

So you want a creative fellow to purchase the rights to produce an onion that does indeed retain the flavor that an onion should have, but have the scent of a violet, which most would consider a more pleasant aroma, and, having purchases aforesaid rights, mass produce the creation and market it to the public? That does make sense, now that you bring it up.
