Menopause

Going through menopause is no fun

Away from it I wish I could run

Coming out with all the wrong words

Things I say are so absurd

Sometimes forgetting who I am

And worst of all not giving a damn

In winter no longer needing a coat

Cos I’m sweating like some old goat

Night sweats are no fun

Look like I’ve been running in the sun

Hair is all on end

Driving me round the bend

Used to think I was a sexual goddess

Now to say I’m shrek is modest.
