Regarding my bolus formation

I had clinic last Wednesday. My previous poems had been shared with the clinic team, and so, Dr. Neel, my neurologist, challenged me to write a poem about "bolus formation". So after Google-ing what that was and a few other medical jargon-y terms that I thought he'd appreciate, I sent him this as a medical follow-up question through MyChart. [I included the glossary here so you don't have to look everything up, but I sent only the poem to doc Neel.]  

Subject: Regarding my bolus formation 

I have a problem with bolus formation

That train isn't leaving the station 

My tongue won't move food 

Lips aren't in the mood 

A disaster in the mastication

It's not a problem with lubrication 

I produce saliva like a new occupation 

Coughing fits of hi-jinks

Plague my oropharynx 

Now swallowing causes consternation 

My dysphagia is so hard to swallow 

Leaves an oropharyngeal hollow 

With digestion below us 

Disintegration of bolus

Is not very likely to follow 

I risk laryngeal penetration

My epiglottis lacks concentration 

My aspirations of eating 

A cohesive mass are now fleeting 

All thanks to my bolus frustration

Glossary:

A food bolus is a small, round mass of food that is formed in the mouth during the early phase of digestion. ... A food bolus is formed as food is chewed, lubricated with saliva, mixed with enzymes and formed into a soft cohesive mass. The bolus remains in the oral cavity (mouth) until the process of swallowing begins.

Your oropharynx includes the back part of your tongue (base of tongue), your tonsils, your soft palate (back part of the roof of your mouth), and the sides and walls of your throat. Your oropharynx makes saliva, keeps your mouth and throat moist and starts to help digest the food you eat.

Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing — taking more time and effort to move food or liquid from your mouth to your stomach. Dysphagia can be painful. In some cases, swallowing is impossible.

Aspiration is defined as passage of materials through the vocal folds, and laryngeal penetration is defined as passage of materials into the larynx, but not through the vocal folds. ... Thus, risk of laryngeal penetration or aspiration varies, depending on food types.

The epiglottis is a small, movable "lid" just above the larynx that prevents food and drink from entering your windpipe.
