Menu for dinner this Friday night

Squash, melons, onions,
Garlic and leek.
Shriveled in gullet,
MAHN HU, so to speak.

My twins, coriander
and bdellium, cry--
Give us this day, God,
Our daily get-by.

Ground it in millstones
Or boil in a pot;
Pound with fine mortar
Or leave out to rot.

Till we, huddled masses,
your riffraff, set sail--
But first, reap the heavens!
(Dear, floss after quail.)

From out of our nostrils
"Enough!" we howl, lest
The graves of our craving,
Like dew, manifest.
