How to Get Rid of Hiccups

Hiccups

Hiccups may cause you to blush;
Folks may think that you're a lush.
As you hic, maintain your smile.
Hold your breath and wait a while.
Before you know it, they'll subside.
Just try not to be mortified!

In fact, they can be downright embarrassing, if they occur at inappropriate times, such as during a written exam (such as the SAT or ACT college entry tests), church service, or job interview.
