How to get rid of Hiccups

Hold your breath till your face turns blue;
Drink a large glass of water or two;
Stand on your head with your feet in the air ;
Ask someone  mean to give you a scare;

Drink something bitter ;
Or drink something sweet ;
Bend way over till your hands touch your feet ;
Jump up and down for an hour or so;
Sit very still and just wish them to go;

Spin around and around till you can’t stand up ;
Try to drink hot coffee from the wrong side of the cup;
Walk on the ceiling with magnetized shoes;
Listen to an hour of evening news;

Paint your face with spots and flowers ;
Listen to bagpipe -music for hours.
These are my ways to make hiccups quit -
But none of them (hiccup) work (hiccup) one little bit.
