An exercise in the use of Onomatopoeia. Half the fun of participating in a writer's group is the shared challenge of learning new skills.

I met a slick hick from the sticks who gave me a hickey beneath the hickory tree. I faked hiccups hoping he would flee but he stood there like a schmuck trying to help me stop the hiccups. Oh, dear (hic) not again! Hold your breath (hic) and count to ten. Standing on your head (hic) works, I think. Hold your nose (hic) and take a drink. I was ticked because I couldn't trick him, so I kicked him.

It's fiction, Muhammad. Simply an imaginary event used to demonstrate the use of onomatopoeia in poetry. Grin.
