She's Feeling Hot Hot Hot

Sue’s bedclothes are soaking wet
She lies in a pool of hot sweat
Now what could be the cause …
Is it the menopause?
Her body won’t let her forget!

Sue's face gets bright red and flushed
She pretends it’s because she’s rushed
Her body is changing
She knows she is ageing -
But this subject mustn’t be discussed!



Written for a friend who is having these symptoms - Sue is not her real name!

Karen Edwards-Gregory Date: 10/5/2016 1:18:00 PM I enjoyed this poem with very real life issues that all women dread as we age. I did have a laugh, even though it's a serious issue.
