A Mans View of Menopause
By Larry Chadwick

I wrote a romantic poem for my wife,
One I was extremely anxious for her to see.
Awesome she said it’s so very nice,
I thought it would be about menopause and me.

Well that put me to thinking once again,
About what it meant to have a hot wife.
For certainly she was hot all those years ago,
But now she was hotter than ever in her life.

There are only two ways to resolve the problem,
I either turn down the thermostat and be fair,
Or I stand my ground for my own comfort,
While I get to watch her as she gets totally bare.

ROTFLMAO. You are really something, Larry.
Somehow, I think you'll come out on top either way.
    
Hehe, this was a fun read.

Is there anything you won't write about?  I vote to turn down the thermostat...you'll both win.

Melissa,
If you like that it is probably something to cause you concern, huh? Thanks  

Midnitesun,
Coming out on top would be good!  

Duncan,
Come on! It was her idea...and the answer is probably not.

Larry, I have a shirt that reads, "I am out of estrogen....and I have a gun!"
What does that tell you?  Don't mess with her!!  Nancy

Enchantress,
She's been bragging all week about how good she has treated me ending each claim with "and I'm in the middle of menopause". ROTFLMAO Gotta love her.
