'Here Comes Another Hot Flash! ' Poem by Linda Winchell

Here comes another Hot Flash!
I seem to be getting them now
more and more!
This change of life thing, is killing me!
I'm just a wet puddle, of hot flash sweat and more!

My mood swings are never ending!
I'm an Angel, but then wait!
and I'm a witch!
I've taken to sticking mini pads to my forhead!
But with all this sweating
they just don't seem to stick!

Did my Mother ever have them?
I guess all of us ladies will one day!
But I wish that I didn't have them ever!
and that they would soon all go away!

First I'm at that, boiling sweaty point!
Clothes come off, then they go back on!
My husband tries to get frisky, between swings!
but is fast reminded, I'm not finding him, all too fond!

I cry at the dropp of a hat!
At everything, I see or hear!
Is this really happening to me?
And why pick, this Holiday time of year?

I've got our Holiday shopping to do!
and the presents need to be wrapped!
I'm tired and just want to shower off this feeling!
and maybe, lie down and take a nap!

Oh no! Here one comes again!
as I run to stick my head in the freezer door!
But I didn't get there fast enough!
now I'm another puddle, of Hot flash
in front of my, refrigerators freezer door!
