On The Rag Again

Look out she’s on the rag again,
The hellish week will now begin.
I’m wrong no matter what I do,
My quiet moments will be few.

Four days or Five, please not a week,
If its longer my outlooks bleak.
Bloating, headaches, sweating, crying,
To make her happy is not worth trying.

Listening to her gripe and groan.
Holy crap she threw a stone!
All I said “go to bed”,
And now she’s trying to beam my head.

And though people may say I’m wrong,
In an asylum does she belong.
But to survive this I have to try,
Oh please dear Lord don’t let me die.

Author notes

One of the things I am know for is my sense of humor. I can make just about anyone smile. But I have never been able to write humerous poetry. I ahve tried a few times and it has always come out like complete trash. So I sat down on night at work and told myself that I was gonna have a funny poem before the shift was over. After a few hours of writing tinkering and sheepish smiling I came up with this. Ironically the songthat was playing on the radio when I first started writing this was Willie Nelson's On The Road Again. And while some will consider it rather tasteless I hope yall can all enjoy it. It was written July 18th 2008.

    ***(/Tosses her own stone) ... LMAO ~ very funny write... I HATE THE FACT I find myself laughing at the woman bashing -- yet, it is just too funny of imagery posed in my mind. *** Not posed... but penned.

    Excellent job! I enjoyed this

    Best of luck to you

      I am most certainly not woman bashing. Just looking at something that women face and have tried to put at least cause women to smile about it.

    I'm not sure this qualifies as bad poetry. You seem to be connecting with a lot of people. Maybe someone needs to have a PMS poetry contest!

    The periods, I hate them just as much as you do, I can tell you. Its not funny being a ticking bomb that can blow up for anything.
    I wish they made a pill that redused the raising anger during it, but oh well..

    Thanks for entering.

  • You're right, you know

    We get more than a little bit crazy at that time. Just be thankful she's not pregnant and emotional! My sister threw a shoe at her husband when she was pregnant with her first child. She more emotional with the second one, now.
    Advice: Just give them space.

    • Oh I know. You've never had your butt handed to you until you get a 34 weeks old pregnant woman after you. So basically I give pregnant women and PMSing women their space.
  • XD

    what a sucky little feeling >_<...
    anyway...i think i laughed for 5min straight just picturing violence because of a period!

    preposterous...
    lol
    Good Luck

    Bravo Love it!

    This sounds like something every mother can relate to where they are up against a misbehaving and frictious child, sometimes people try the patience of Mother Teresa, this sounds like one such occasion!
    Brilliantly penned with humour and poetic graphic artistry and fine sculpting to entertain all the way through, and lovely empathy too, fantastic, great read and well done, love it!

    I have just had the meaning of 'on the rag' explained to me, as being English I wasn't sure and I needed to be, I thought that was what was meant. I have to admit that you men really do have to suffer....poor things for a little while...but us women go through HELL.

    A very funny poem and a pleasure to read, I did think that you could have lengthened it a little.

    Well done...Ms Sue
