At that time of the month
It’s a right pain in the arse,
Nearly always the same
I feel so damn aghast.
Filled with paranoia,
Set in apathy,
A couple of sleepless nights
Brings on this lethargy.
Who’d be a woman
At a time like this?
Stomach really bloated,
Water retension in my tits.
Any chance of being social
Is no idea of fun,
I loathe all conversation
And hate almost everyone.
These stomach cramps do hurt
And take over my life,
I curl up in a corner,
Who’d want me for a wife?
All I want is a cuddle,
Don’t ask me what is wrong,
My brain can’t equate to P.M.T.
Don’t worry-it won’t last long!
When the two headed monster
Is ready to appear,
Excuse me while I crack up
My period is so near.
There’s no logic to these tears,
But ‘depression’ brings them about,
Things are taken the wrong way
And at this time I hit out.
I tried hard to be nice,
But mood swings are on over-kill.
Please be patient and be kind
I can’t help the way I feel.
I don’t expect to be understood,
‘Coz I don’t understand.
Homones are at their very worst-
Just come and hold my hand.
The change of life is impending,
Goodbye to all my ova.
Turn my back on all those months-
Be glad when it’s all over!
