Of all sources, this one spoke to me with dignity and a bit of whimsy!
BELLY BUTTON
Fetal feeding
Umbilical cord
Source of nutrition
and of comfort
Baby born
Cord falls away and
a belly button is created
Innie or outie
Great for gazing
when depressed
Fun to fill with chocolate syrup
during sex
When you’re young
It is quite round
During pregancy
It disappears along with your waistline
When you’re old
It inverts from years of living
and frowns at you (
from the dreaded mirror

It gazes back at me from the mirror with disdain, although I know it’s an honored souvenir from my pregnancy. My daughter is 21 and I think I’m still recovering, LOL!
