My Innie

These days my innie is more of an innie
The more outie my belly becomes
I no longer think of it as a button these days
But more of a deep dark hidden cavern

One that holds many mysterious treasures
From oodles of lint to colorful twine
If you'd rather not know then it's best you don't go
On too deep a search and rescue reckon

Cause in my innie you may never come outie
Just remember my friend you've been warned
There are places you know you never should go
That will leave you battle scarred and torn

I'm now thinking that I'm more than a little off track
On this poem of my belly button
It started off fine before it took a nose dive
And lost out on that special something

That I always strive in my deep thoughtful writes
Of which you all know I have many
Now where was I at...I remember now, Oh Yea!
Did I mention that I have an innie

Your descriptive poem is so hilarious Mike it's a good job you've got an indie not an outie they are useful for catching peanuts when you are sunbathing lol. it always fascinates me when I see a pregnant woman with an 'outie' it reminds me of a huge balloon that is being inflated. :-) hugs jan
