Ode to the Urinary System

O, kidney thou art wondrous,
In complexity so fair.
From nephron to collecting duct,
Thou art always there.

To monitor my pressure,
Thou measurest my flow.
Thy delicate components
To my continence I owe.

O, bladder thou art plastic,
To prevent me from distress.
Without thy sphincters tightly closed
I would often make a mess.

But 'tis the whole that makes thou lovely,
Complete in every way.
Without thy tubules, tufts, and densa,
Wouldst I scarce get through my day.
