L Milton Hankins Poet Epitaph

Judge Ben Mcwhorter

Here lie the remains of Judge Ben McWhorter
He held court in Bourbon Street’s Latin Quarter
When his wife discovered his debauched ways,
She took appropriate steps to end to his days.

Maurice Rigoler July 5, 2022 at 2:44 PM Life is full of surprises. I like your reply to Ilene Bauer because I write most of my humor like you do / Maurice L Milton Hankins July 5, 2022 at 5:49 PM Yeah, but you are a real humorist. I just accidentally light on something funny now and then!

Jim Slaughter July 5, 2022 at 11:03 AM Wonder if he pleaded the fifth? I don't know this story, L M, but it sounds interesting. L Milton Hankins July 5, 2022 at 11:46 AM Completely fiction, Jim. I just like to write these funny epitaphs that come to me now and then.
