The Menopause
The menopause arrives with out warning
Childbearing days over as day is dawning
Hot flushes, tears sheer unease
HRT patches work for me please
Irritable angry one moment, next so sad
Feel good as you wake up Go to bed sad
From teenage years nothing helps you prepare
For the menopause years its not bloody fare
No more pregnancies the body a barren room
The menopause came with no warning too soon
It arrives over night, gets you while you sleep
You can’t control your emotions weep girls weep
Old women say it gets worse before it gets better
A toast to the Menopause a real life up setter

Do Men Menopause?
All women do menopause
But do all men menopause?
When I write and take a pause.
Lowered hormones are the cause.
Women's condition menopause.
Men's condition Andropause.
Aging women, no go
Aging men though low,
on hormones, it's still go.
So, the answer is Yes and No.
The real beauty
Till your puberty, you have a face
You are born with.
Till marriage, you get a face
You aspire to have.
Till menopause, you have a face
You strive to retain.
Past menopause, you are left with a face
You deserve to carry.
Real beauty is one past menopause too.

Mom No Exception
Good women after menopause
Are so jealous, I say.
I have seen mom-in-law getting
Upset, and covering up
With put-on laughter,
When her husband talked a bit more
To his own daughter-in-law
In the drawing-room.
I never thought Mom was like that -
Shocked I was to hear in Chennai
From Seline and Rajiv separately
That she made hell for Dad in sixties
Because young women in church
Circled him for counseling.
Eldest, and away in Maharashtra,
I didn’t know: Mom is dead 17 years now.
When man reaches
The age beyond bedventure,
The woman becomes
Taut and tense, seeing
Him with younger women.
And of course denies being jealous.
That her man is old.…
Does it make her suspect
He is doing other things freely?
Whatever that may be
Good women after menopause
Are very jealous.

Advantage of age
A menopause past man can woo a lass.
A menopause past woman can woo a lad
Their age guard them from suspicion.
The lass and the lad get a safe outlet.

The Male Menopause
The menopause is changing life.
It brings many women enormous strife.
The shifting change of the ground we stand,
Often feels like a different land.
A time for growth you know t'is true.
A golden opportunity, don't be blue.
Go with the flow, accept the change.
Embrace the difference; don't think it strange.
Look at the positive side of the page.
You are slowly growing into a sage.
An older wiser woman you'll be.
It happens to you and it happens to me.
But lets not forget amidst this shift,
That it also happens to men, catch my drift?
They too go through the whirling change,
Upheavals, distress, and things that seem strange.
For this condition, it too has a name.
Not Menopause, Andropause, the effect is the same.
So let us acknowledge men feel in a muddle,
And as well as our own needs
They too need a cuddle.

To be longed for and to long
Why must a woman flaunt her beauty,
Even after having secured her mate
If at all that was her strategy,
And why must she still pursue it
Though not at all to procure one,
And carry it past menopause
When her cyclic urge settles down?
Why must a man long for a woman,
Even after having hooked his mate
If at all that was his acumen,
And why must he still sustain it
Though not at all to replace the one,
And carry it past his menopause
When he is rendered as a straw?
Being longed for is her pleasure;
Longing for woman is his pleasure.

It's okay to talk about birth, okay - then menstruation. I first started my advocacy for women's health in the field of reproductive freedom, and the next stage would be bringing menopause out of the closet.

Menopause- no pause
.
Even at your late fifty,
If someone for you is thirsty,
Either you are still sexy
Or he is over-manly.
Both ways you are in gaiety.
Life does not end
With one’s menopause.

When In Confidence
Women stand before the mirror,
Frequently and constantly,
At the stage of their puberty
And at the stage of their menopause.
First the anxiety has driven her to.
Later the feat has driven to.
In between they seldom use it
As they are good in confidence.

Mother
The mother is the one whose to suppose love her child above all else
Never become a hindrance
because of her loneliness
because of her unrest
A sad state of a fare it is to see your mother go crazy
Lose her marbles on at a time
And then she gets violent
Not in the physical sense
But verbally, like a viper she becomes
With moods ever changing
Sleep deprivation ever rearranging
We have names for this
All mean the same
Shes of the golden age 50
She tries to hide it
She tries to fight it
She tries to deny it
But it is menopause

Tireless pursuit is sex
I started my life with adolescent mischief.
It has lasted with ages over five decades.
The net expanded for women
From puberty to menopause and even beyond,
With my age on rise.
It retains taste for the young while gaining for the elder.
One, rising up a hill, will have a wider view.

Plus Size
Are u a plus size girl?
Now dun be mad, girl
Just stating a fact, girl
Not that you overeat, girl
Sometimes it could be, girl
A medical condition, girl
Stuck in that position, girls
Being a woman, girls
Juggling career, family, girls
Going into menopause, girls
Can play havoc, girls
To our weight, girls
Hormones at play, girls
Or lack of it, girls
Plus size is in, girls
Throw the diet in the bin, girls
Sexy curves, girls
See Mad Men, girls
See Marilyn Monroe, girls
See Adele, girls
See dropp Dead Diva, girls
See Glee, girls
Watching diet's a pain, girls
So what if we gain, girls
Nobody, nobody but you, girls
Decides what you, girls
Want to be and do, girls
Key is Attitude, girls
Be cool. Peace out!
Man’s menopause
Are tiny letters dim to read?
Is wife looking like a sister?
Are you tempted to seduce one?
Do you prefer your hand to wife?
You have got to man-menopause.

Can Viagra? [aduot]
Thought of a woman
Or her vision in brain
Is prerequisite to man
For erection. In its absence,
No Viagra can man him.
Man of menopause
Wants the change of partners
Not the induction of Viagra.
