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
