BRITISH MUSLIM SONG


Halal Mother Goose: Rhymes for Children


A Gastronomic Ditty.

The onion lay low in the dark soily ground,
   The tomato grew in the light;
The little tomato was ruddy and round,
The tiny onion ’twas white.

And redder and redder she coloured above;
   And paler the onion was now;
But neither suspected a mutual love,

            Till they met in the Turkish pilau.

- Abdullah Quilliam
