I'm laughing my head off at your clever play on words - bet you can't find a woman alive who would not delight in this senryu. Clever and entertaining and also quite insightful in its observation :-) Brooke

Debbie, this write is perfect in syllable and line count and is humorous that leads the reader to think one thing and is pleasantly surprised by the play on the word. Very cleverly done. :0 GracieAnn

You made me smile. Wonderful way of putting what we women go through. I giggled. "men-o-pause" is a clever spin on this topic. Thanks for sharing, Deb

...And women worry.
So right,
I do not know as to the age, yet one has to keep going and not let thoughts become master of the mind, instead let actions be an equal partner.
Well done.

Good thinking, and very clever, Debbie. The artwork works well with it, too.

LOL! Both genders do, I'm afraid. Old age is difficult but it beats the alternative, as they say. :)
