the yurp

stretching back in the cathedra

at the office or in the classroom,

after binging in the afternoon on

gas-producing foodstuffs,

with said digestive organ of said

animated being

enlarged &

bursting at the seams in

pants that had been chosen

not to be worn after such a meal,

so when the belt is loosened &

the top button unbuttoned,

out from the mouth comes a

particular squish of air that

can be recognized as both a

burp

(eructation)

&

a yawn

(gaping open mouth indicating

tired, weary, lack of care),

but no one knows which is

a more accurate

depiction,

so in unison

all who have witnessed it,

proclaim it a

“yurp!”
