Ralph Taylor Poet Limerick

I

This Limerick on my Tombstone I wish to be read

Include my Name, Birth and Death dates I said

         Now it's time to reminisce

         Cause if you're reading this

Then it's quite obvious I must be dead!

                  Ralph Taylor - RIP (Really Into Poetry)
