Menopause Moment

MM Menopause Moment It comes on uninvited And it doesn't make you excited Heart flutters ensue To an almighty hue Of crimson red Lighting up your face and head Next comes the tsunami of sweat Accompanied by an almighty dread Will anyone see the tell tale signs Will they think l’ve been on the wine? Doctors’ scratch their chins and ponder While you garble questions and just wonder Will your brain capsize? Will you stay alive? Beneath the bluster and blunder Which is now your life Thank God your no ones wife! So, there is no womb prayer Just you, pulling out your hair No soft voice In the middle of the night Telling you it will be alright? Copyright Sinead Looby.
