Menopause Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord for no more heat For if it comes, I’ll be awake I pray the Lord, don’t make me bake I’ll even get down on my knees And pray the Lord “Lord, pretty please” Please don’t turn my furnace on My flesh is weak, my patience’s gone I haven’t had a good night’s sleep Since menopause turned on the heat And it’s no good Lord, counting sheep If into fire, Lord they leap So Lord, please grant me this request And take this fire from my chest Let someone else be thusly blessed And let me finally get some rest Short Poem contest - Honorable Mention finish Mdailey written for my wife
