THE RADISH, by                    
First Line: The radish is a good / and doubtless wholesome food
Last Line: Right from the eater's head!
Alternate Author Name(s): Ibn Quzman, Abu Bakr Ibn Abd Al-malik
Subject(s): Radishes


The radish is a good
And doubtless wholesome food,
But proves, to vex the eater,
A powerful repeater.

This only fault I find:
What should be left behind
Comes issuing instead
Right from the eater's head!
