Gut Bacteria Bosses

My managers called
Time to wake up
4:30am
You're late for a cup
That coffee they love

When fitfully foddered
Unpleasant communication
Out of bed toddered
Cruel masters each one

The brain but an intern
Unpaid to be sure
With all the worst tasks

Bring us water
No wait, now bread
Oh the bread is bad
Maybe a bit of the buch

These fickle micro
Organisms most foul
Can't be quit or got rid of
But sometimes I want to throw in the towel

Anti-biotics they hate
But consequences so do I
So uneasy truce we might find
Détente sleep we rely
