Hiccups

Hiccup ONE
Hiccup TWO
Hiccup THREE and FOUR

Hiccup FIVE
Hiccup SIX
How many hiccups more?

Hiccup SEVEN
Hiccup EIGHT
Was it something that I ate?

Did I drink too fast?
How did they come?
Is there a FROG stuck in my tum?

I hold my breath ...
And wait ...
But then ...
Along come hiccups NINE and TEN

I drink some water, upside down.
Hum "Yankee Doodle went to town".

Hiccup ELEVEN
Hiccup TWELVE
NINETEEN ...
FIFTY…
HUNDRED AND ONE …

WHAT IF I HICCUP FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?!
Oh, wait a second … they’ve gone!
