Menopause: Silly-Savvy Poem

I pause, just for a nanosecond, to consider the flaw

in the word

menopause.

Isn’t it women, they such as I, that suffer from the pause?

And what is this pause anyway?

Do women just stop, rest awhile, and take the time to consider,

as I – am doing – now –

the flaw?

The flaw that is the man who stuck the flawed-plural form of himself in front of the pause that was supposed to mine!

The man who couldn’t resist butting in and muscling in on the inaction!

Well, this is just fine, my man – my flaw!

This is just fine with me!

Sit yourself down, rest awhile, and take your time ….

Because, if you can ever get your lazy ar*e off that line and stand up again, you’ll find that your feet will be stuck!

Your feet will be stuck down in the crooked and flawed groundwork of a line of your own making – and the rest of us – the women – still intact – and still speeding – will have

moved                                              on!
