“Quickly, Indiana!” Screamed his young sidekick
“Grab and bag that Ramadan
Before the beasts come quick!”
Indiana held his breath, outstretching his fingers
The kufi on his head slipping, sweat beginning to linger
That jewel, that priceless treasure stood
Tantalizing to his finger tips
Shining like an unearthly maid
Aromatic as a tulip

When this Goofy Gora did a roza once in Ramadan,
He fasted so well, he made us all feel real bad.
He took it so seriously that we thought he was mad,
this Goofy Gora who did a roza in Ramadan.

When the crescent revealed its heavenly smile
The spirit of Layla suddenly brushed past me.
I stood entranced as she whispered in my ear
Give up your food and water just for me
And shed your sins, and multiply your prayers
Then I will follow you wherever you may go,
I’ll breathe a breeze of love into your heart,
Be still and remember I am your special friend.
