Poetry Ahead! (You've been warned.)

We have a hypothalamus and, oh, but for the life of us,
It plays up, stays up, breaks up and wakes us up.
My little hypothalamus, big like hippopotamus,
It must’ve fostered cluster and you’re busted down to hell with us.
Medication, meditation, seditation, tried the lot.
Lithium and calcium, lidocaine, tried smoking pot.
Caffergotcha, melatonin, teeth pulled, stop your moaning,
Accupuncture, coca cola, anything to stop the rot.
Hot packs, cold packs, predni-poison, dopey-max,
Ibuprofen and religion, snorted mustard, visited quacks.
Imitrex and quick sex, goodness knows what hex is next,
Don’t tell us, hypothalamus, we all must just learn to relax.
Hoo-doo, voo-doo, kudzu, verapomil,
Boo-hoo, no O2. Like you, I can’t stand still.
Head-banging til it’s bleeding. Gimme strength, it’s all I’m needing,
Pills chill my thrills, hypothalamus, I’m filled with the will to kill.
So, hypothalamus, tell us tales we’ll all believe,
Why you swipe at all the lot of us with a pain we can’t relieve.
Did you have a lousy childhood? Dad a thug, your mother no good,
Or are you just a nasty basket who deceives to achieve?
Ha, we’ve got you, hypothalamus! Feisty beastie that you be.
We’ve seen you beat and cheat us, now we see your destiny.
We suffer rough and tough, so stuff your bluff we’ve had enough,
I’ve now got lots of friends, it’s no longer just thee and me.

..a modern major general!!
I knew it was G&S, especially after the other day but I couldn't for the life of me think which one! Kept thinking of HMS Pinafore but I knew that was wrong but I'd got the nautical context at least!

It's not only good, I think that you actually managed to get in all the lame stuff we endure to find relief. Thanks for sharing.

I had the exact same reaction. It's brilliant, Brian. The music was going through my head as I was reading. It also gives me fond reminders of Ogdan Nash's critter poems.

Very good, class. Now name this one.....
Last night, last night I went to bed without a cluster,
It done me good. I knew it would.
Last night, last night I went to bed, no fuss or bluster,
It done me good, I knew it would, I always thought it bloody well should.
'Cos you should see me, when I'm dancing,
It's a sin, to let it win,
You should see me, whenever I'm prancing,
It's a sin, it should ever begin.
Ease it, squeeze it, bang it on the floor,
Ease it, squeeze it, jam it in the door,
Well some go in for sodomy, others fancy sheep,
But for personal enjoyment, just give me PF sleep.
