Irritable Bowel Syndrome Exacerbated Courtesy of Prunes

lower abdominal area gurgles and balloons
gastrointestinal tract 
     vis a vis flatulence croons
in tandem and/or subsequent expulsion
 
     eliminates fecal waste
witnessing sprinting to bathroom, this scribe 
     (against time) and jet propulsion 
     of sphincter muscles' 
     spasmodic desperately raced 
 
unpleasant symptom of anxiety/ panic attack 
twas a stranger to this rhyme stir, 
     who now finds himself barrack
cay did, and held hostage, where thoughts 
     about mooning doth not crack

a smile, or baring derriere tubby more exact
me up - matter of fact
no source of laughter, nada one ha intact
     (despite usual presence of chuckles 
     from this fan of good humor) high jacked

for what seems a maternity leave 
     from all mothers tub be
thus envision, a bevy of pregnant gals 
     aching with cramps he

ving (times square of the hippopotamus) 
     with cervix fully dilated key 
ping alert, when mother nature ready 
     to pull up all stops (via umbilical cord) 
 
     to deliver nee, 
sans bundle of joy, followed 
     in quick succession with after birth re:
placental sack, hence said effort to expel newborn

     the closest scenario experience ill suited to dance
afflicting this anxiety prone lovely bones, an all expanse 
paid (seat of the pants) accursed bane of proletariat grants
no truce to attend finds me pampered asper this rants!
