Ok I get the picture
A "natural" thing to be
But let me explain
To those in question
Just what this is you see

Its not your imagination
Im really turning red
And yes your eyes
Aren't deceiving you
Thats water pouring from
my head

The doctor smiles
And pats my hand
Try "this" patch my dear
Oh thank you doc I cannot wait
To paste it on my rear

Theres just one thing
Thats overlooked
For when a flash appears
The patch falls off from all
The sweat
Thank you my doc "my dear"

The fan turns on
The fan turns off
My thermostat is broken
For years of claiming
I am Woman
Is this my given token

The best part of this picture
Dare I ask "how long" for me
Oh average time can be 10 years
They mean eternity

For when your burning up
Inside
When menopause arrives
You can't believe
What your body will do
Because its estrogen deprived

If anyone can understand
Or relate to this little story
I am woman, hear me roar
Its not about fame and glory

Ive had my head in an icebox
And dressed for summer
On a winters day
Im natures proof of a Power Surge
In every living way

Oh Deb...this is priceless.  I'm sorry, but I'm laughing (just like a MAN!!  I'm sure all those who have experienced this will certainly relate...all the younger ones can have this to look forward to. (I'm REALLY sorry...but the image of you with your head in the freezer, it's just too funny).  Hardrock
