For the Woman Having Menses
For the woman having menses
A high demand on her senses.
“I’d better I took no chances
That embarrassment enhances.”
A keeping up with the Joneses
On matters of strict hygiene,
Sometimes mistaking her tenses,
As she helps herself with Flagyl…
Her sincere man unreachable
For taught lessons still teachable;
But much glad who’d feared a baby,
‘Contraception’ wish and hobby…
For whom a child’s cry would face glow;
Bad-news bearing monthly blood flow,
Sees it and again phones Doctor:
A voice polite but could hector!
