Hold Your Breath & Count To Ten
Hiccups come with a thump thump thump,
To wrench out guts and punch our lungs –
A painful start, but soon each jump
Has settled down to ting our tongues.
But we never notice when they go,
They slip away to no concern
Once we ignore their gulps below –
To build their strength for their return…
