The 7 Menopausal Dwarfs

by Debi Pick Marquette

Use These Words Contest Winner 

This picture's a complete disgrace 
That's not my body nor my face
You can't blame all on menopause 
I'm not deranged or growing claws


I have those times I may forget
But major things, I haven't yet
Few times forgot to pay a bill
I'm surely not over the hill


My heart still feels like twenty one
Now my grandchildren are my fun
My body never has an itch 
Unless you count UTI glitch


  My body tortures me and threats
I have those HATEFUL HOT NIGHT SWEATS
We still have beauty and some gleam
Just takes a lot more wrinkle cream


Sometimes there's tendency to swell
MENOPAUSE BELLY ~ WITHCHES SPELL
Retaining water makes me float
I scrub and splash that extra bloat


I'll tell myself my plan or vision
There's times I may forget to listen
I think that I am too discreet 
So with myself, I must repeat 


I am fatigued and do get sleepy
I'm also sensitive and weepy
That doesn't mean that I'm a dwarf
Whose body's doing some kind of morph 


That picture really had no call
You see, I'm not like them at all
If my hubby shines a different light
Watch out buddy, you've got a fight
