Menolyrical; Menomemories

Some of you have been around long enough to recall this blog at the height of its menoloopery with respect to the effects of menopolyxinaemia. At one stage, I had a separate page which contained the menoctionary so that you could keep track of definitions. I gave up on that. I started all post titles with "Meno" because I could... I continue to use that format because I can. And it's my blog 'stamp' now. For newer readers, you may have wondered about it - though it is to be hoped you had at least read the bio page to learn the basis of it all. It is also to be noted that Dioscorea - aka Wild Yam - is of acknowledged benefit in the relief of some symptoms of meno. My initials, therefore, have become my remedy as I witter away at the interwebs like a lone sailor waving from the ship over the horizon... Anyway, am recycling a poem from about three years back. Some may recall it, others may not. Even if they did read it before. 

GETTING CREATIKUL

… words from the menoctionary

Getting diskolexikul,

happens regalsy

With the menoxikul;

Oh yes, my dears -

Menopolyxinaemia

That curse of the femalines

Comes with menosoup...

And the menoloops

The menokakkuls the

Menorise and Menosukhs.

It comes not alone

But brings its friends;

The menosukhis

The menoystericals

The menoparches and

The menopunkals

(which result in whirligiggles)

There's menophraise

And menogitationals

Menospovelling and

Risk of menoxication.

Then let's not forget

The menosomnia,

The menotrikal and

Menopolysocksication.

It makes one menoquizst

(yes, the hiss and spit)

Menopuggled as well as

Menovoidal… but then,

Too, it provides an impetus

For waxing creatikul,

Getting menolyrical.

Nuff sed.
