Prepped a bun in the oven
Nine months of work, hard
Many tears in birthing room
Whod’ve thunk turning corner
That me’d have a set of
Reminders: expansion that grew

Well my chances’ sinking
Of bod sublime
Choose way of life: to whine
Complainin’- see me:
Pregnancy leaved me
With belly’s scary lines

Trunk all relined
Beringed prime with belly’s scary lines
Connect the dots
Between the blotchy spots
For tic-tac-toe offline…
How can my nether look like some leather
Of a striation kind
Roll, quick in cot, for penance got
Those belly’s scary lines

‘Rounding me’ was a bummer
My ire wasn’t small
Got stout more than I had planned
But thought I’d rebound
Be that lovely frau
Past times ere girth’d expand

But my tum’s quick shrinking
Did route ‘sublime’
No more of lithe and fine
Birth un-obesed me
Gestation creased me
With belly’s scary lines

Shrunk all benign
Til arrived at belly’s scary lines
Skin firming creams -
Outlayin’: in my dreams
Restoratorive lies…
Why must my gender have to contend-a
With dowdy stripes o’mine ?
Got enceinte and now I’m fraught
With belly’s scary lines

Hub’ draws the line
Seein’ my poor belly’s scary lines
To get more lays
Sees me now forced to play
“Sure. Flip me over. Fine.”
Distressed forever, I cannot sever
From topographic shrine
No midi tops for me look hot
Damn belly’s scary lines

Boo!

Belly’s scary lines
Belly’s scary lines
Belly’s scary lines…
