Menopause

Menopause uggg

Adam was given work for his sin
Eve was given the privilege to produce kin

Never once was menopause mentioned 
Who created this invention?

They say get an ablation, it’s the best thing since apple pie
You’ll stop bleeding and you don’t have to try 


What they don’t tell you is, it doesn’t always work 
But heck, the no cramping is a perk!!

Whatever!! It threw me right into the change
My life seems a little nuts in exchange
My kids think I’m lazy but in actuality I’m a lot crazy 

I don’t sleep, and I  stay wide awake
My moods are all over so the niceness is all fake 

I wake in a pool of sweat 
Only to later freeze, throw me the net !!

Oh the hot flashes are real 
It’s great for sex appeal 

The man says you must be hot  for me
I just roll over and say no, I gotta pee

Weight gain is going at turbo speed
Chocolate is the number one need. 

I just want to be left alone and not bothered 
Give me peace and I’ll be honored 

Don’t wish for periods to end
You’ll never be right again my friend.
