Bacon, potatoes, eggs, and cheese,

All wrapped in a warm tortilla 

Nothing in this world beats a

Homemade breakfast burrito.

So delicious, yet so huge, hold it

In your hands, bacon falling out,

Potatoes too, you know this is just

Too much for you.

Salsa running on the floor making

Quite a mess, so what are you to do?

A burrito cannot be eaten alone, but

Always shared by two.

When a friend comes by staring at

Your burrito with a hungry look in his

Eye, give him half your burrito and

Tell him to give it a try. 

And through all of life’s hardships,

It’s the little things that count. 

Because nothing in this world could

Ever beat a burrito friendship.
