Ergo, the Ogre

The ‘pause

Slow, sweat-nasty burn.

Nothin’ sexy here, Bozo.

It’s Menopause, yeah?

Back away real slow.

Don’t make no sudden movements —

nobody’ll get hurt.

      I wish there were a way to circumvent the ‘pause.

    LOL…..but OH SO TRUE!
    Blessings on those who understand the hilarity of this post, but also the stark incredibly uncomfortable and discombobalizing dehumanizing truth of it as well!
