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.
