Premium Member Yawning Is Contagious
Yawning is certainly contagious Others can't help yawning too It even happens with chimpanzees Try it next time you're at the zoo Yawn while attending a party Many will follow your lead The host can signal party's over By yawning, it's time to leave Yawning can also be useful Groom signals the sleep he lacks He's saying the wedding's over To get his new bride in...

Everywhere we look, we see a divide, as head destroys heart, trampling it to dust and paths of kindness, most of us deride, living a life unholy and unjust, oblivious to soul weeping inside, bemoaning ego’s indulgence in lust. There’s a yawning gap between head and heart, which we can bridge on adding love to cart. Conscience whispers but we heed not its...

I stood on the tip of the top of the cliff and looked down, Though valleys seemed colorful, scenes deep down were grey and brown; A few freshwater streams were springing from filmy fountains, Lo, why these ants-colonies roam on the Rocky Mountains; The entire landscape looked like a huge monster's mouth yawning, Are these sounds and noises around...

The gulf between us is such a yawn. It's boredom drawn out in endless re-runs. Opposites are meant to attract like magnets, north and south. Right! But our chasm is abysmal. It's a melody of maladies and sick jokes bespoken by a stand-up with yawning incompetence standing on a cliff, shouting into the distance while peering into the gulf of what might have been. No one's listening. Right!...

Premium Member The Gaping Yawning Chasm
Do you yawn more when tired than when you've just woken up? This is the gaping gap of yawn's yolk in 'chasmology', the study of yawning! Why you do it, when, and what brings it on? One quirk is that all vertebrates reptiles, sharks, lions, kittens, and their babies all yawn and its highly contagious. It spreads in a room and a zoo. One...

Yawning All Morning
Millie Brown was 12 years old. Who didn’t like to do as she was told. She didn’t eat her greens or even brush her hair, As she’d spend all day sat in her gaming chair. Oh how she loved video games – all she’d do is play Every sort of video game every single day. Not only did she play all...

Coffee! Coffee In the Yawning. Pour straight from the pot. In the dawning - deep fog of brain. Lifting of the breakfast cup. Pour straight from the pot. Open very wide, the eyes. Lifting of the breakfast cup along with a grape jelly donut. Open very wide, the eyes - the ebon clearing. Along with a grape jelly donut, have a great big gulp. The ebon clearing in...

Yawning is a bad habit don't you think People can see what you had for breakfast Though you enjoyed your eggs and bacon We don't need to see what we ate last It gets all chewed up and looks yucky poo Pigs become history but hens take pride In producing a fine oval egg every day Their joy they can't conceal or...

Washington is broken; it couldn't be more divided. And who suffers because of this us-against-them tribalism? The American people. Real change is needed to fix Washington. If only members of Congress ...

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...
