Hormones

Oestrogen is the one

Which makes you feminine,

Testosterone makes you strong,

And masculine.

 

Oestrogen makes you serene,

Your temperament mild,

Testosterone makes you bold,

Bald and wild.

 

Oestrogen makes you loving,

Be it sister or wife,

Progesterone is essential

For foetal life.

 

We all love the party,

Cold drinks and sweet,

Insulin takes care

Of the sugar, we eat.

 

When you are in a dire situation

Or a race you have to win,

A sudden rush from the adrenals

A hormone called adrenaline.

 

Keep in check your BMR,

Thyroid hormone we call that,

Hypothyroidism

Makes you sluggish and fat.

 

Growth hormone is necessary

For your proper height,

Less of it makes you a short,

Excess makes you a giant.

 

You may be a male or female,

Black or white,

For good health,

Balance of hormones should be right.
