Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

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!

Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper October 6, 2016 at 8:45 PM Very funny! Yeah I agree with Demetrios...tackling a taboo issue here but in a light hearted way. This should be appreciated by many. Good work! MC Jan Allison October 7, 2016 at 1:43 PM Thanks MC:-) hugs Jan xx

Demetrios Trifiatis October 6, 2016 at 9:05 AM Even the most thorny issues become fun when you write Limericks dear, Jean! There are million upon Millions "Sues" out there and I sympathize with all of them! Great work! Jan Allison October 6, 2016 at 12:02 PM I try to write with humour and my friend laughed at this one hugs JAN XX

Ironic Zink October 6, 2016 at 2:41 AM Well, I am lucky to be a man but we mustn't tell her these types of things—less she be a poet of social media—that is. Nice one Jan.

Karen Edwards-Gregory October 5, 2016 at 1:18 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.
