The Belly of the Beast

They toil away
unacknowledged and unseen
working day and night
fleecing the scene
they know all your ins and outs
steadfastly collecting 
everything 
they can on you... Meet

The Lint Factory Inc.

The filthiest part of the human body, (we had to study it in medical anatomy - if folks only knew, they'd never do a jelly shot again, lol) ... great write, once again maximizing with an economy of words. I think we're at apogee, (and I'm from Pluto - not even a planet anymore). Blessings - keep up the great work! ;-)

Maureen, I had to pick everything out of my bellybutton after reading this. I hope I got what you meant; if not, I found some wonderful things in there. Possibly the true fate of Amelia Earhart; a few penned notes from Hector Berlioz's "Symphonic Fantastic", and maybe some lint from flannel shirts I was wearing before Grunge even began. If I missed the entire point of your poem Maureen please por favor reference comments from your previous poem where I mentioned, "Perhaps I'm stupid".

I'm sure I have husky hair there, it's everywhere.

Jeff Connelly

July 12, 2019 at 4:46 AM

So you yourself have flannel shirt lint in there before Grunge? May I take a look at what YOU found?

Lol! Bull's eye. Please stop using that s word ;), xomo

This is hands-down the most hilarious poem I have ever seen on the Soup, and maybe in my entire life. Absolute wacko! although it makes perfect sense of course. Geniosity, my dear, and a FAVE! :) gw
