Navel Action
Have you ever made a mirror thing
To look inside your navel?
You'll need some tube, some mirrors, string
Some sticky stuff and one more thing
A handy kitchen table.
.
Just cut the tube to make a 'U'
Then simply fix the mirrors, glue
Them firmly, maybe tie with string
And there we are! That's everything
There's nothing else to do.
.
You use it like a periscope
To peer inside and help you grope
Around to see what's hiding there.
There's awesome junk and lots of hair
And little lumps of soap.
.
Now! If you're carelessly inclined
There's some thing you might bear in mind
Be cautious please, DON'T poke too far.
And find yourself a small jam jar
To hold the things you find.
.
I caught in mine a crumb of toast
But really, what I liked the most
Some talc, a feather, tons of fluff,
A toenail and some gooey stuff.
It's interesting in there.
