‘Twas that time of the month when hell broke loose,

Endless chores mocked at her with looks vile,

Every part of her body wept with pain,

Nasty seemed her mood swings,

Sleep-deprived eyes burgeoned with huge bags,

Sundries many called out dearly to her...

“Rest, renew and repeat,” declared her mind,

Ditching everything she called her friends,

Sisterhood came to her rescue,

Endlessly they shared their rants,

Sigh! While a hot masseur massaged their feet.
