Navel Action (Free verse) by BadPoet
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.

Playful but ultimately acerebral.

Hmmm I'm disgusted and somehow charmed at the same time

The challenge for poetry is to create art from apparently non-poetic themes. This poem meets this challenge fantastically.
