"Menopause.. Shmenopause!


A Poem by Valor JS
I was just diagnosed last week. That LITTLE ugly word Menopause.. Well, lets all have a good laugh, shall we? .. I know I am.

M  Ood swings, anxiety, let's play what made me cry today?  The lines in my palms!? ..

E   Very woman's nightmare!  MEN O PAUSE.  The irony!

N   O, No, this can't be right Doctor!  I am much too young..  aren't I ???

O   H.. my.. GOD..  ovaries not producing enough estrogen.  Need.. more.. estrogen!

P   Lease for the love of everything that is holy, would someone turn the air down to 50?! ..  

A   Nother hot flash..  yet another!   Weeeeeeeeeeee, I have my own personal sauna!

U   hhhhhhhhhhh..  I am going through what?!  I thought that happened in your 60's!? ..

S   Cowling as the Doctor delivers this good news!  Singing "The Sound Of Music" as I'm leaving!

E   Quivalent to the day I had all four wisdom teeth surgically removed!  I will embrace this.. eventually.  I mean really, what choice do I have!?..    Dear Lord!  Would someone, anyone, please turn the air down to 40?!  I'm on fire over here!!! ...............................    

 

 Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?

A:
One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE 
 
   

PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGH- OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!

IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE!

I'm sorry.... What was the question?
