Lyrical Stuff

Okay. Many of you might be familiar with the single, "Bossy" by Kelis (http://www.kelis.co.uk/.

I did an age and temperment based redux of her song. Imagine me singing!!!

Here's my remix:

(Chorus)
I'm grouchy
I'm the one with the cramps I hate
I'm the one with the water weight
That's right I'm the one feelin' all the pain
That's right each month get this crap again.
I'm grouchy
Did a 2 second bathroom dash. Oh shit here's a new hot flash.
That's right it's that long ass hormonal change.
That's right my whole life's being rearranged.

(Verse)
Oooooh.
I'm running short on my estrogen.
Although my periods back again - I wanna know when this shit will end.
Tell me when. Tell me when.

Ooooh.
Everything seems to just make me mad.
I'm sick of looking at menstrual pads.
Why do these stupid cramps feel so bad?
Ain't it sad? Ain't it sad?

(Chorus)
I'm grouchy
I'm the one with the cramps I hate
I'm the one with the water weight
That's right I'm the one feelin' all the pain
That's right each month get this crap again.
I'm grouchy
Did a 2 second bathroom dash.
Oh shit here's a new hot flash.
That's right it's that long ass hormonal change.
That's right my whole life's being rearranged.

I have always thought that to be a woman is to conspire in the absurd.

It's a rotten way to treat those who keep the human race going. What were they thinking?

Hugs to you!!

apparently it can last anywhere from 1-10 years.

There's a timeline for ya.

Me, I've been flatling on the FSH for 3 years now...up down, up again. I don't have a uterus so I can't tell what's what but my stuff coincides with garbage week which really, how appropriate is that?

Some months...nothing.
This month, the whole freaking pot of hormone soup...and it's lasting longer.

Course, i can't use it as an excuse to be bitchy seeing as how I'm like that all the time and stuff.

OH. My GOD. I could barely get through reading your revamped song, I was so afraid I'd soil myself from laughing.

This was an Excellent and might I add a BETTER, rendition of that godawful song.

If men had periods there would have been legislation years ago giving us each an extra week to deal with this.
