Mood swings, foggy brain

Hot flashes, cramping pain

Restless nights, itchy skin

Dry scalp, wrinkling

Thinning hair, brittle nails

Memory loss, rising scales

Sore breasts, itchy ears

Shoulder pain, silent tears

Libido low, energy gone

Love life running mostly on yawn

Wine at five, stress long gone

My new religion: sauvignon

Every day, a new add-on

Peri-Meno-WTF, come on!

For Funhumor
