(I hope this answers the challenge satisfactorily Daniel)
Personified,
You are Pylorus.
Proud gatekeeper of
The colon(y) called Duodenum.
An often agitated place
Where oft a mere chili pepper
Can stir its denizens into turmoil and unrest.
(A protest I must confess that I detest).
For from your gateway gassy rebels
Utter their rudest BLAST!
Author's note: (for those who don't wish to look up words)
The pylorus is the opening (Gr=gatekeeper) to the duodenum. the duodenum is the part of the intestine nearest the stomach. toot-toot!

Oh my goodness gracious alouacious! You bet this meets my challenge! Well met and then some, my new friend! Considering my own affinity for tooting, I'm surprised I never came across that word in the dictionary. Maybe my next challenge should be about tooting. Hmmm?

My god, Lonny.. Daniel will absolutely love this! It's clever AND brilliantely delivered.. like a tightly woven basket of playful intellect.. this is great! katy.
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
