The Large Intestine

Look down there 
at your belly 
I know it might be 
a little smelly 

See the part 

'neath the belly button? 

Therein lies 
your Large Intestine 

It's long, it's strong 
it takes your food 
mashes it, smashes it 
until it's poo. 

That taco you had 
on Wednesday night 
might be there now 
packed real tight 


In this part 
of your body 
food gets ready 
for the potty. 

It absorbs water 
from elsewhere 
to lubricate 
this thoroughfare 

An important part 
of digestion 
it comes after 
the smaller one. 

Whether you're fat 
or really thin 
you, no doubt, 
have a Large Intestine
