Notes About The Poem

Body Talk

Sue’s curvaceous body’s turned lumpy
Her clothes are so tight, she feels frumpy
She’s discovered the cause
It’s the darn menopause
Sue’s irritable and so grumpy!

Some women have a really difficult time going through menopause. The worst for me was lack of sleep. I am just rising and hope you had a great day Jan. I loved how you were able to convey the mood of menopause in your succinct Limerick! Happy Holidays! Hugs, Connie xxoo

I pity Sue, or any other person, for that matter! I think I did make a reference to this in a monoku of mine, comparing it to weather forecast. Hugs // paul

AT least she is not pregnant. Can you imagine being the age of usual menopause and finding out a baby is on the way? VERY good depiction of menopause , and it has a host of other "wonderful" things to follow. How are you, Jan? I bet you are super busy like me. I wish I could keep up here but I need to leave the door in a hour for yet another thing!!

Hey, it's hell for men too...I have to sleep in a sweat suit in the middle of summer (in Texas) because the A/C is set as low as it will go and the ceiling fan is on high...haha

Tell Sue to get use to it and to especially hang in there when her begins to fall out. I really, really, really love this amusing one, Jan! Are you counting? You may be entitled to Guinness Book of World Records spot for most limericks, really. Poor Sue. All the best dear one ... CayCay
