Today’s word is “omphaloskepsis” ... om-fuh-loh-skep-sis ... contemplation of one’s navel as part of a mystical exercise; navel-gazing. (Dictionary.com) Oh! Thanks for the challenge Dictionary.com!!!
Tip
He was sitting on the mountain top,
Thinking of important things,
Hoping his deep omphaloskepsis,
Would to him wisdom bring.
But sitting there for hours,
Only left him feeling weak,
Soon then in his agony,
He to himself began to speak.
He talked himself into some lunch,
And then into a nap,
Then back down the path he went,
With no compass and no map.
