Ode to the Cell

O, beauteous eukaryote,
Drifting through the salty sea
Of fluid that thou lovest,
Please keep thy functions free!

Homeostasis is thy goal for me,
As thou thy proteins make,
And oxygen and glucose be
The foodstuffs thou dost take.

But if thou be'est poorly fed
And perfusion thou'est lack,
Aim me for the tea and bed
Until thy grace be back!
