Menopausal mayhem

Running through the town

Up and down throughout the night

Changing your sweaty night gown


Whiplash inducing mood swings

Crying at the drop of a hat

Overwhelming rage comes and goes

Emotionless, feeling flat


Calm and serene with experience 

Grace that comes with age

Blissfully walking room to room

Clearing mind and space with sage


It’s borderline in a nutshell

You feel like two separate people

You are wise and wonderful

But she is downright evil


Your up your down your tired

Though you struggle to sleep through the night

Fatigue and joint pain join the bash

I call it ‘peri delight’
