WE WRITE POEMS
We've been asked to write our own epitaph but it's hard to take an epitaph seriously because, obviously, it is never going to be needed!
CARVED IN STONE
WISHING
IT COULD LAST FOREVER,
COULDN'T
MAKE IT SO.
I
CAME, I SAW, I LAUGHED A LOT
AND
THEN I HAD TO GO.

I absolutely love your epitaph! Keep it light, Rinkly!
carved nicely with a smile...thanks for sharing your words
It suits you. Harry will probably remember a lot more than you think. But it made a cute poem.
Thanks for playing along! I suspect that ending might be as fine a gift as beginning is. Forever, that just seems so big! (And I'm only "this much" tall.)

Loved the epitaph. I could not settle on one, so there's a pick and choose list! Yours was so funny, succinct, and rockin' the prompt. Amy
