Linguistics 2 My Pauseology Hypothesis

To speeches Pauses lend grave weight: A passed paused Death Sentence, “Wait! Wait!” “You-are-already-dead-this-night” And The Black Hearer goes white! Always esteemed by oracles, In speeches welcomed obstacles; Important in a dreaded shrine, Her grandeur not failing to shine! Skeptics now add to her value, Lots conceding to her, no clue: “In-three-days-your-lifeless-body.” And the picture they start to study! Pauses help to stamp defiance To convey a self-reliance “Wonder-I-what-you-can-just do…” If-not-like-a –pigeon-coo.” One’s listeners the same time pause And one is entirely the cause “Do you know what later happened?” Your listeners’ ears wait for lips opened: You cease to talk, no listening; Only their eyes glistening… Thanks to helpful Prof. M. Omen Then, A Doc for Prof-Wish Amen.
