Taste Buds

My taste buds can't seem to shake Off the sweet tastes of the towns food It takes me back to the holy month of Ramadhan When they'll be various vendors selling food I loved how people would buy together Everyone buying and piling it in one sinia And they'd all eat as one Even the one who doesn't have gets to enjoy Cause food has a way of bringing together people To start off a day after fasting, one takes dates Accompanied with sweet strong coffee And something savoury that doesn't overpower the tongue Cause all this mix of fun goes on one palate My taste buds still recall how they were lively Awakened in the shores of Mombasa When I ate prawns and una It's like I've missed out on all this my whole life It's no surprise why I'd want to marry from coast Cause I'm charmed by the great foods they have to offer And a great home starts off with great food So that guests keep coming wanting more The PO£T
