Sluggish

Slugging along in life...

I drag my feet
And have to
Make myself
Pick up my arms

I'm feeling sluggish
Or is it...
That female
Menopause?

Methinks it is
The waking
In the night
Gives it away

Men are ordering
Sports cars
And women
Are shaving
Not just legs

"Poo poo," I say
I'll not let it
Make me a
Sluggish bore

I'll jump up now
And skip around
And dance
Until I snore

No menopause
Can get me down
This slug is
Turning things around

Take this and that
And ha ha ha's
Cause this chick's
Stylin', no more blahs

I say, "No more"
But I gotta go
Punch a pillow
Or kick a pole...

-(It ain't easy being hormonal)

Sounds like you've got it under control. Misdirected hormones seem to be the cause of a lot of misery in the world. Wish there was a way to regulate better.
Best regards,
Leland
