Summary: I make no apology for this! It was just a silly idea when I actually heard myself saying the first line during the course of conversation.




I've never been troubled with hormones,
though I understand some women are.
It's the luck of the draw, I suppose, when you think of it,
not unlike driving a car -

My friend overdoses on chocolate -
Maltesers eight bags at a time.
She denies it of course and it's nothing like
Auntie, who perpetrates violent crime.

But I've never been troubled with hormones;
Pregnancy, menopause, fine.
No, I've never been troubled with hormones....
Well, I've never been troubled with MINE!
