This week's poem:

"The Menopause Express"

By Linda Barrett

The Menopause Express hits you with freight-train force,
speeds into you
When you least expect it.
You feel its sweaty friction
just before it charges into you
The Menopause Express
charges from down your head
along your back
flying through you
before flying away
to come back again
its wind makes you sweat gallons
Until you climb out of bed
to reach for a glass of water.
The Menopause Express
runs right into your face
then blows out of town
taking your hormones
and fertility with it.
as you suffer from its passing wind,
Take this with a cold glass of water,
This Express only runs once in
A Woman’s life.
