Ode to the Sympathetic Nervous System

The Pythons said it best,
"Run away, run away, run away!"
Little did they understand
There is also a system for rest.

But it's FIGHT or FLIGHT we truly love
That excited state so tense
That makes us lift a car or boat
And sharpens every sense.

But when we've flown or fought
We sag and feel depressed.
The PNS it then kicks in
We rest and then digest!
