Ode to Kidneys

Posted on February 18, 2009 by sparky

mood: dorky
music: Mute Math – Peculiar People

Oh homeostasis-regulating retroperitoneal organs of delight,
You excrete urine throughout the night
My blood pressure would not be the same without you
No other abdominal structure can do what you do

You help me be rid of my uric acid
And you clean up my blood in a manner quite avid
And should the hypothalamus detect a change in plamsa osmolality,
You’ll reabsorb water to stave off calamity

Day in and day out you retrieve oligopeptides
And you really get sore if I get punched in my side
To top it all off you do this all for free
But it’s time to stop writing because I gotta pee!
