The Vagus Nerve Song

[Polly159]

Three Afib episodes in 2 days, so not feeling up to doing anything very strenuous, but came up with this song..... (Apologies to the medical profession for any anatomical inaccuracies!)

The Vagus Nerve Song (tune - falderi, faldera)

I love to go a wandering

From top to tum and back,

I'm not straightforward

But more like a winding mountain track

Vagus nerve, (vagus nerve)

Vagus nerve, (vagus nerve)

Vagus nerve, (vagus nerve)

Vagus ne-he-he-he-he-he

Vagus nerve, (vagus nerve)

Vaugs nerve, (vagus nerve)

Your winding inside track.

I am you see, a mighty nerve

For I control so much,

Your breath, heart and digestive tract

And even taste and touch.

I travel safe from your brain to,

The lands under your ribs,

But if I draw near your atrium,

Then you'll be in Afib.

I know some humans do their best

When they are feeling ill,

To blow, cough, shock and e'en massage,

To bend me to their will.

Now under pressure, I admit,

I sometimes do obey,

For I don't want to kill you, for

'Twould be the end of me.

O no dear human, I'm glad of

Your hospitality,

I'll not harm you, you'll just end up

My next 'vagality'.
