How to Cure the Hiccups

Hold your nose and pat your head.
Count your toes and paint them red.
Stretch and yawn the alphabet.
Are they gone?
Hic!
Not yet.

Fill your pants with chicken soup.
Tap dance in a hula hoop.
Stuff a sleeve with cantaloupe.
Did they leave?
Hic!
Nope.

Fill your bed with cottage cheese.
Place your head between your knees.
Twist your ear and bite your shoe.
Did they disappear?
Ah-choo!
