La Da Dai (The Menstrual Minstrel)

It’s that time of the month
bad times are flowing
the menstrual cycle has begun.
It’s a bad time of the month
your cramps are slowing you down and well, that isn’t fun.
You could use something for all your mood swings
some Motrin or Mado while your tampon sings

The first times confusing
What should you do?
Should you tell your mom or your dad?
The way you are losing parts of your fluids
and by most accounts- that’s bad.

But then you get older
get used to those things
like menstrual orders as your pubic hairs sing

It’s not that it’s bleeding
its freeing the (baths avs?) in you
It’s just what you’re needing 
next month you will bleed anew

The bleeding is over
you can go back to your life as it was before.
The Tampax box is empty 
you don’t need to worry about those [bad word] things anymore.
But something is missing-
a vaginal song. 
tune that you’re wishing you could sing along

Mmmm… Periods.
