A Funny Epitaph

A FUNNY EPITAPH

'Neath this soil lies Uncle Roy
Dirty tricks were his great joy
His dying words were not a trick
He said, "I told you all that I was sick"

Thanks, Line! I appreciate your support. I am still toying with the idea of sponsoring a contest. It will have be one with simplistic rules. That is for my own peace of mind. lol

Jesse, thanks for choosing my entry as a winner. I apologize for the late response. Things do get hectic around here at home sometimes and things just fall by the wayside. I love retirement, but it does create a streak of procrastination and just down right laziness sometimes. Thanks again!

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that but you are right. I just pull stuff "out of the air" without connecting it with anything else. Glad you like it.
