Please forgive my mood today
I’m sure you don’t think there’s any need
To put you through this living hell
But once a month we women bleed
It begins in adolescence
It’s sometimes called The Curse
This cycle stays with us for most of our life
And as we get older, it often gets worse!
It can make some women suicidal
And drive others right round the bend
Until we get menopausal
A living hell without an end
There doesn’t seem any rhyme or reason
‘Stop this pain God!’ we often plead
It’s all part of being a female
Once a month we women bleed

A melting menagerie of muddled
minds. Raucous unruliness.
Just men being men
Don’t give me that
load of old frog spawn
You croaking toad
with bulging eyes,
and flaring nostrils
revealing your lies!

You’ve won my love, so what’s the next step now?
We’ve gone as far as we can somehow
Without causing pain, and putting strain
On our loved ones at home, who still remain
Loyal and trusting, innocent and true
It would break their hearts if they ever knew
What can we do?
We knew at the start how these things go,
A smile across a bar, then the next thing you know
It’s weekly meetings full of surprise,
But at home a succession
Of lies and disguise, staring into their eyes.
It would break their hearts if they ever knew
What can we do?
We’ll call it quits and stop it now
There’s the children to consider, and anyhow
Perfection in love is just for the dreamer
But I’ll never know why the grass
Always looks greener
It would break their hearts if ever they knew
And that wouldn’t do!
Ride this storm and calm will come,
After the rain there’s always the sun.
Don’t let your efforts go to waste,
Think things through, there is no haste.
What an empire you have made,
Don’t let your love now start to fade.
Life is full of peaks and troughs,
Many a hic-cup and plenty of coughs!
Love each other, please stay strong,
And soon you will be back on song.

Trotting back and forth, always on the move.
Life untangling in their head
Demons dancing
Voices shouting
Is my Father dead?
Going to and fro, causing much alarm
Don’t let them stray beyond those gates
They won’t return
They never do
The fuss that it creates
Rushing here and there, on a mindless mission
Searching for the great unknown
Decades lost
At such a cost
In their head, they’re all alone
Sitting never still, always on a journey
Into the past they dash
Frustration shows
And temper yells
As once again their memories crash
Going to their grave, so bravely, but not yet
Their bodies are strong indeed
It’s just their mind
How life’s unkind
Please help them God we plead

She had a sharp side to her nature
It came from her mother’s side.
But thankfully her father’s gentleness
calmed the tempestuous tide

His mind was so erratic
It bounced around at speed.
He could have been four people,
I kid you not indeed!
He could take on board so many things
Most people would not need
And store them in a secret box
Like he was planting seed.
His knowledge was so extensive
An encyclopaedia in his head.
But his lack of common sense was frustrating
And quite often we’d all see RED!
A boy, such joy, a new beginning
A family member, much needed to complete
The vacant gap of a dear deceased
With open arms we warmly greet
A life, a hope, a new dimension
Another addition to the tree
A welcome branch of love and hope
Oh ‘little one’ come to me
A gift, a thrill, a new tomorrow
Let’s close the door on heartache now
And move towards a better feeling
And find new strength somehow

She wears so much bling
It must weigh a ton.
I think they are gifts
From her famous son.
