Pardon Me

The digestive system, what can I say, 
A favorite to exercise many times a day. 
It’s always working whether awake or asleep, 
And most of the time you don’t hear a peep. 
But once in a while, loud sounds can be heard, 
If from someone else, then give them this word. 
Borborygmus it’s called in the singular form, 
But hearing it once is just not the norm. 
Borborygmi it’s known as the plural kind, 
But don’t let this words get you out of your mind. 
Remember…
One hippopotami cannot get on a bus,
Cause one hippopotami is two hippopotamus.
Just memorize the words, load your burb gun, 
Borborygmi means many, borborygmus means one.
