PANDICULATION

Yawning is contagious,
Truly a mystery of mind –
And reasons are unknown,
Why we can’t find!!

Stretching increased blood pressure
With heart rates as well –
And flexes muscles with joints,
While thoughts tend to swell!!

Yawning and stretching are related
Without a clue –
And we seem to do both
When we feel the blue!!

©Copyright August 23, 2004 by Hillol Ray

Le sbadiglio e contagioso
un vero mistero della mente –
e i motivi non si conoscono,
non passiamo sapere il perché!
Lo stirarsi aumenta la pressione sanguigna
e i battiti cardiaci –
e flette i muscoli con le giunture,
mentre i pensieri tendono a elevarsi!
Lo sbadiglio e lo stiramento sono connessi
Inspiegabilmente
e sembra che noi pratichiamo l’umo e l’ultro
quando ci sentiamo alinconici!

©Copyright 2007 by Hillol Ray

Stretching increased blood pressure
With heart rates as well –
And flexes muscles with joints,
While thoughts tend to swell!!

Yawning and stretching are related
Without a clue –
And we seem to do both
When we feel the blue!!

Le sbadiglio e contagioso
un vero mistero della mente –
e i motivi non si conoscono,
non passiamo sapere il perché!
Lo stirarsi aumenta la pressione sanguigna
e i battiti cardiaci –
e flette i muscoli con le giunture,
mentre i pensieri tendono a elevarsi!
Lo sbadiglio e lo stiramento sono connessi
Inspiegabilmente
e sembra che noi pratichiamo l’umo e l’ultro
quando ci sentiamo alinconici!
