Menopause is for the birds!
Well, really it's for old ladies
With nerves on edge and tears that flow
and flashes hot as hades

It's two AM and I can't sleep
My hair is soaking wet
So, I'm here at my computer
A poem I hope to get

I've been having lots of cramping
I thought I would start to flow
My monthly clock is all messed up
Sometimes it comes, sometimes it goes

The doctor gave me hormones
to help the symptoms go away
But all it did was break me out
The scars are here to stay

Well, I'll go back to bed and try to sleep
My hair is now quite dry
I'll fan my face, calm my nerves
and try hard not to cry!!!!
