Once Penny had hit middle age
She found it hard to engage
Finding lumps in her custard
Or a ham sandwich without mustard
would sent her off in a rage!
Penny once sweet and so calm
Now caused her family alarm
Being so spiky and sour
Miserable and dour
Her twins thought she’s cause them some harm
Off to the doctor to find out the cause
Of Penelope’s new character flaws
The hot flushes and stress
Weight gain and night sweats
The symptoms must be menopause!
Penny felt cut to the quick
No wonder she always felt sick
Always crabby and tearful
Het up and fearful
This menopause was like a cruel trick
She took the kids out for the day
Off down Shelbyville way
The sand and the sea
And her friends’ company
Kept her bad temper at bay!

Judy and I have teamed up to be silly again. I just love Judy’s take on things, I send her a photo and she responds with a poem, sometmes within minutes! Do pop along over to her website and fine other poetic gems and find her book filled with her wry look at life.
You can find more of our nonsense if you put ‘silly saturday’ into the search box, top right on this page.
Life has definitely given her lemons!

Good question! Although I don’t really know – something will spark off an idea,which sparks another …… etc
I think it is a benign form of madness! 😉
