Men-o-pause
There is a time in your life
When you go through a change
Now, that it's been three months
I'm planning a men-o-pause party
For my fifty first birthday, yeah!
An operation removing tubes and organs
Bring men-o-pause on early
Making life free from reproducing, but
No matter the freedom to be free
Nothing compares to men-o-pause brought on naturally
The sickness and depression
Makes life impossible for a while, but
The new forties is joyous, when
Mixed with alcohol
Having never drunk or partied before coming fifty
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
Flying high on some strawberry gin tonight :):(/):):)/):):):):):)

Hey raj
Thanks for reading and sharing

My family calling me crazy, because
They never heard of a menopause party
My daughter always say
Only you mama

Thanks Rosi
I agree partied is better and have made the changes. I have been telling people this lately just to see the look their faces. I thought writing it into a poem would be great theme for poetry humor. I won't literally have a party teehee.
Would love to have you join in teehee

Interesting story
Only men not wanting children are invited La la
That way none will be miserable
Partying the night away haha
not literally planning a party just having fun shocking people. I'm a serous person all the time. So jokes and kidding is a boat I miss often in life annoying people. Never intentionally hahaha

I loved your...
poem Barbara. I thought it had to do with taking a pause from the company of men! LOL You did break free of the norm for you, and I think you did just fine. Jokes and laughter make for good party companions. Make sure you invite them often. ~ Gee
