(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?
