VW Beetle

It was the holidays
And I spent them with you  
At MSU  
Among a group  
Of your doctoral peers  
Who were also  
Exchange students  
And they spoke  
French all night long  
(Despite being from various  
Ethnic groups  
Around the world;  
France (Breton), Turkey, Uganda  
Can’t remember where else  
That was the one thing  
That united them)  
And you    
Translated everything  
Everything for me  
Over red wine  
Making the night  
Incredibly  
Romantic.  
   
(I took Spanish in under grad since my Mother spoke it)

They always bring reinforcements
