Yawning
Way back when, at mankind’s dawn,
Before most known inventions,
Humans gave in to a yawn
Despite their best intentions.
Yawning never disappeared;
It’s lasted through the ages
And to a yawn a face is geared
When thinking disengages.
Tiredness could be the cause
From lack of sleep or illness
Or when somebody needs a pause
From boredom’s awful stillness.
One more reason mouths give in
To open is the spawning
Of the contagion which will win
When other folks are yawning.
