Comment from Mary Vigasin
Just completely and absolutely delightful.
Your rhythming and story line are clever and in some cases very true. I think you deserve six stars for this one.
Thank you for starting my day with a smile.

You are a naughty girl, but it's not true that you lack courage. You proved that by telling everyone what's going on in your......ahem... .......mind.

Comment from bichonfrisegirl
LOL ... this one could well be the winner. I loved it! You so very accurately described all of the menopausal symptoms, and in a very humorous way. Having gone through it myself I could easily relate to your write. I agree "HORMONES TRULY SUCK" !! :)
Well written humour with good rhyming and a nice flow, made for a delightful read. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks damommy! I am hanging in there; it's slowly easing but only because I got desperate and went on hrt lol!

Bless your heart! I have lupus and have always had some flushes. When I went through menopause, I didn't even know it. Am I dumb or what?
-
Not dumb, not lucky either. I'd say the lupus might've masked menopause, which is the least a lupus suffer could ask I'd say! My sister, who is a lupus sufferer, experienced few to no menopausal symptoms, and thank God!

Just shows there's an up side to everything. 8-)
Comment from nomi338
Sounds like you are in a pickle, sounds also like the medical advice you've received is not worth a nickel. So your mind is threatening to go out on vacation, and your worsening conditions give no cause for your elation. Thank God you had enough sanity left to write this delightful poem. It is very funny and it made me smile a lot.
