no joke...

 
listen...
I got a few questions
been on my mind a minute
just keep building
so I'm gonna put them out there
see where it gets me

can't they come up with some kinda fix-a-flat
who do we see about that
cuz lately...
the girls aren't feeling as elevated
looking a bit tired
deflated
I want my bounce back
these days it seems like everything sags

& if I gotta pee
don't even look sideways at me
takes that trickle down effect...
to a whole other level
it's a serious situation
when the bladder turns in it's resignation
& we're still determining terms of agreement
as I'm trying to tighten that pucker-string

& another thing...
wait...what was I saying
ah never mind
it will come back to me
probably at 3 in the morning
when I'd rather be snoring
but I'm up...
counting wrinkles in the sheets
cuz everything irritates me

but since I can't sleep
could someone adjust the thermostat
open a window
crank up the fan
these night sweats are insane
not to mention the hot flash
I mean...damn...
it's hours till dawn
& I already need a shower

my brain is wrapped in fuzz
memory not what it once was
there's more but...
I forget...
I'm not even joking
ladies...this ain't for the faint of heart
if you've been there...you know
if you haven't...brace yourself
nothing funny about menopause
