Period

Her pheromones screamed, "We must breed!
So find someone fast for the deed!"
Though her body begs
The shelf life of eggs
Determine how long she will bleed.

Funny title for this so true limerick. It's so funny to me that we use the word "period" at all and I want to laugh when I tell my students "don't forget your periods" (they keep using commas for periods) There is a film out of India doing a word play on periods, something like: A life sentence. Period.

MANY young women would like to forget their "period"s! If men suffered a monthly "curse", Trump would really be erratic!

"Time is of the essence" so "Full Stop" doesn't work any better than "period" or the "curse". My late wife liked a pop song from the 70s, "Only Women Bleed", which women understood although it didn't make them feel any better!
