At brunch David
Taught me how to
Roll my r’s
In Spanish

I erroneously
Rolled the “r”
In “naranja”
And David told me
It’s only for
The double r’s
As in “burro”
Which is Spanish
For donkey

David started to
Roll his tongue
And show me
How to do it
He said it’s not about
The tongue muscle
You just
Relax the tongue

But I still had
Food in my mouth
So I told him
To wait
Until I was finished
With my food
And then
I would try
