Negative comments roll

and taste bittersweet.

I'm sorry to my tongue

for how I bleat.

Forks, spoons,

and sweets meet.

I'm sorry to my tongue

for what I eat.

I roll and I curl,

it’s like a gymnast.

I’m sorry to my tongue

for the motion sickness.

Positive comments go

and taste pretty sweet,

maybe I’m not so sorry

for the way I greet.
