A wordplay/play on men.

There was a Woman,. Sometimes, she felt quite premenstrual. She should not have been feeling this way, because her menopause had arrived ages ago. When she hit the menopause, she stopped being a wife, stripping herself of the title Mrs.

She felt bitter about the whole experience- it had sent her mental, Everything seemed very menial, and the only thing that really interested her was the mention of a menu.- Any menu- Food was always a first. This was not what her life mentor had encouraged, and she felt a menace in his tone.

Feeling that he was mendacious, she accused him of being a Menshevik. He retaliated by saying he was indeed a Mennonite! No wonder she had felt so manic- and with this realization, she knew it was time to Mend. – time to forgive Man and his kind. Afterall, the ~~Historectomy~~ Hystorectomy was not his fault!

Clever word play.:) And oh can I relate to the menopause stuff LOL

Well, middle aging is quite an experience (as those had it say). Surely in no time, soon we will be relating to this more experientially. Lets just dont forget to thank God if he gives us that grace to reach it in the first place.
Shalom..

Dear Suppee, but being respectful I can understand the change that a woman experiences is more aware than what men do when it is their turn for the male menopause. A good topic

There once was a girl named Persnicketty
Who at 40 had a full hysterectomy
When the hot flashes grew
Her man\’s nads became blue
When the sex they once had became history

I juts realized that this poem is actually a testament to SEO or search engine optimization. That is the reason for using so many words that sound the same.

Very clever.
