Roy Pett Poet Epitaph

Funny Epitaph

Here lies the body of the grim Reaper 
six foot down perhaps a lot deeper,
he fell for the devils evil little scam
sold his soul, but who gives a damn.

Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2018 at 6:13 PM oh this was SO good. I wish the contest had not been limited to ten wins. Some of my favorites did not make the list and this is one of them. Roy Pett September 25, 2018 at 5:02 AM Thank you so much Andrea, I agree this contest certainly created some humour so I expect a lot of these funny submissions will not be read by many, thanks again for your support much appreciated my friend. :))
