H.R.T.!!


(Hormone Replacement Therapy)!

It's all over the news just lately…
And splashed all over the TV.!
Panic stations, the fear factor!
Crisis attack on H.R.T.!!

They're scaring the women like crazy,
Telling them H.R.T.'s harmful and BAD!!!!
Well to that I will say this…
I think that's pretty sad!!!

You see, they tell the negative side,
Wow, but bad news is always bigger news…
Panic attack!  Watch your back!!
Cos they let you think your life you'll lose!

Now then that's where I come in!!
For I had no ovaries or H.R.T.!!
No-ones fault, just one of those things,
But I think you may want to listen to me!

I am the flip side of the coin,
For I 'got' the risks 'without' H.R.T.!!
Actually, that's not quite true,
The 'risks' are a certainty and it's too late for me!

Prevention is better than cure they say,
And yes, that's certainly true…
And there is prevention, but NO cure…!!
Don't let my future be the same future for you!

Had my body had ovaries or H.R.T.!
Then I wouldn't be in this mess today,
For the body suffers, oh, so bad…
And price was dear for me to pay.

You don't just get osteoporosis girls,
But other things beyond imagination…!!
I walk that walk…I nearly died last year!
And the result is a bit like 'hell and damnation!'

I won't go into that…I can't!
It's a scary place for me you see!
So my advice today is see your doctor,
If you were on it, get back on H.R.T.!

Sometimes things happen in life...
But if you value that life today!
Hark my words, heed my words...
Listen to what I say!

I'm not saying there are no risks…
But please take a hint from me…
Don't end up the way I am…
By not using H.R.T.!!

I'm on it now, and I will never come off,
If I at all value 'my' life…!!!
For me there is no choice to make…
I stay on it and continue my life of strife!

All these people who scaremonger!
Telling women to be afraid by using their voice,
Telling the down side, always the downside!!!
And in a way…taking away free choice!

We look to the experts and take their advice,
Then the scare hits and women go sick!
Panic stations, what do they do?
They get off H.R.T. pretty damned quick!

I have to agree, yes, there's a possible risk!
But it doesn't mean you'll get them…take that from me!
For given the details, given the choice,
I would have been on H.R.T!

But alas, not so, I wasn't on it…
And that's why I'm telling my tale…!
For without ovaries and H.R.T.!!
Your body will most certainly ail!

I am watching the news on T.V.!!
And the worries the women face,
Well ladies, if you have no hormones…
Take note!  Mine is the future you face!

It's hard and it so very painful!
And I bear this agony every day…
So ladies if you're supposed to be on H.R.T.!
Get back on it, or a dear price you will pay…

If you value your life,
If you really do care...!
Then take stock of me...
As you walk past my chair!!!!!

Don't End Up Like Me!

I walk the walk…
I wear the shoes,
And trust me true!
My life I did almost lose!

Without H.R.T.!!!!!
