Turbulence in the Belfry
Respiration - who's to blame?
Let us know that tyrant's name!
Day and night we have to breathe
Even if our name is Keithe
Breath -- Dunamis -- Paraclete
Double hyphens - - ain't that sweet!
Stop for breath? Don't break your stride
Breath out quickly, horrified!
In asthmatic states of grace
Fastest breather wins the race
Search that windpipe! Steal that lung!
Force that air back past the tongue!
Make that epiglottis swing
And the larynx fit to sing
Respiration! Who'd deny
Without it we would surely die?!
