I do confess, I felt tired that day,
Barely able to keep my eyelids from falling,
Even as they sentenced my cousin in court.
I suppose it was bad form, to open my mouth
When the judge was busy opening his.
Maybe it was a bad idea to let that yawn take its course
And allow my diaphragm to do it's solemn (and dynamic) duty.
But six months in jail?
For yawning?
I see you read that story too, though "official" recapitulations say he was purposefully making noise to disrupt the proceedings. either way, it's still a bit harsh.
