Clyde's Demise

Here lies Clyde now expired;
Another man's wife he desired;
The man pierced Clyde's ticker with a knife,
Thereby, making a widow of Clyde's wife!

So great to see you posting again, Bob. Just love this "Epigram." Feeling kind of sorry for Clyde's wife, but it seems he deserved his fate. LOL Hope Vera is doing well. I think of you often. Hugs, Carolyn

Excellent Robert! Crazed love is often used as a defense. Mess with my wife, lose your life! Best of luck in the contest. : )

So funny! It's the second one I've read about death this morning, as well as writing one about a tree I love. Oh, well, it's inevitable, i guess. LOL
