Hot Flashes
by Joyce L. Rapier → (All Poetry by Joyce L. Rapier)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Beautiful hair do
on a cool fresh day
turns into a fright
from this angry shrew.

Sweat pouring down
the cracks of the boobs then freezes all at once
like a ton of ice cubes.

Sit in front of
a refrigerator door
hoping a breeze
will ease this soul.

Angry teeth
gnashing away
frenzied and amok
on a winter's day

Too hot, I say
too hot to lay
throw off the covers
get out of my way.

Don't look at me
just go away
Let me sit in snow
I'll have it my way.

Turn down the air
you stupid twit
before I show you
a flaming fit.

Eyes flashing
a twisted smile
hearts pounding
look out she's got
a fingernail file

I tell you this
so you may know
a hot flash is
kin to gasoline flow.

Aflame on fire
it it burns like hell
skin twitches
with a maniacal yell.

Just once you men
should understand
hot flashes are
kin to a frying pan.

If you would like
to take a turn
Just stand by me
and you will burn.

Interesting subject and funny write. They do experience something like hot flashes if they have to take treatment for prostate cancer as the drug acts like estrogen on them.
