Robert Makes His Will

By Elton Camp Someday I’ll depart this time of strife. My will distributes what I had in life. Ere long I’ll be bones and rotten. By all my friends well forgotten. My wife gets a large monthly ration. If she fulfills just a single stipulation. She must quickly take another spouse, Stay married, and live in the same house. It seems a bit strange to you? This is what I now hope to do. Few will mourn my passing, but yet One man my death will sure regret.

I posted this at another site and got an extremely angry response from one lady who read it. It must have fit her a bit too well for her to see that it was a humor write, but based on an underlying truth in some cases. Thanks for reading and for your comment. Elton
