Dead On Your Feet (Haiku)

Tiredness beyond tired
Exhaustion past exhausted
Dead on your own feet!

Yawns!

Come on!  Let’s hear a cheer for the yawn
A reflex that inhales fresh air
Whilst stretching the eardrums intently
Then exhaling at you over there!

The outcome is highly contagious
Infecting all dear passers by
Extending the jaw in a fashion
With the closing of one or both eyes

A gape of the mouth quite alarming
In acts that quite pandiculate
With a yawn and stretch so enticing
We’re all doing it!  Yawning!

Too Late!
