The news

Just came in

From the County of Keck

That a very small bug

By the name of Van Vleck

Is yawning so wide

You can look down his neck.

This may not seem

Very important, I know.

But it is. So I’m bothering Telling you so.

A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough.

It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off.

NOW the news has come in that some friends of Van Vleck’s

Are yawning so wide you can look down their necks.
