Halal Cart on my Corner

Muslim dude from Egypt  
Does wondrous things with chicken  
Lamb is good too  
I always get the chicken though  
 
I kinda befriended him last winter  
Neighborhood up in arms  
That alone made me reach out  
People always afraid of what they don't know or eat  
 
All good for about a year  
Neighbor folk slowly reached out  
Steady steam of business  
He gives a nice salad and grills the pita  
 
Recently when getting my food he starts pushing religion  
I'm about as religious as a dog pissing on a hydrant  
Always believed it's a personal choice best left private  
I don't crave his chicken anymore , we had our moment
