An Open Letter to My Hypothalamus

Got real bored and wrote this:

You’re the leader of so many major functions
Controlling all sorts of hormone production
Thanks for the help with forming my skeleton
Though you missed the boat on one minor job again
You help me to regulate my intake of food
But obviously you were not in the mood
Ate 5000 calories on super bowl night
I have no idea why you thought it was right
Maintain homeostasis you say?
Well then why not keep the fat cells away?
I run and I run and you think I need more
25 wings and pizza galore
Were in this together you and I
I’m taking you with me if I die
So just help me to shed these last couple pounds
And we can live happy without being round
