Yawn

Here is a poem I wrote in the third grade:

A yawn once yawned and spread to a friend.
Oh, my goodness!  It's starting a trend!
Shh!  Everyone's asleep.  Al, Lucy, and John.
Everyone's asleep by that one little yawn.

Clearly I was influenced by the Silverstein oeuvre.  Also, note my polite usage of "goodness."  I also remember debating between "Al" and "Sal."  I think both versions exist in various chapbooks.
