The Belly Button Brag

My favorite part of my body is my belly button, yes. My belly button’s very cool. Know why? You’ll never guess.

It’s not an inny or an outy. It’s kind of in between. And when I wear a bathing suit, it’s so proud to be seen.

People love my belly button. (It’s not just in my head). It’s what I’ll be remembered for far long after I’m dead.

My tombstone will display the words: Here lies Mitchell McGee. The only guy who ever had a belly button on his knee.
