Professional Epitaphs

PANED REFLECTIONS

Here lies the glazier, Peter Lee
His wife is shattered, naturally!


LAST NIGHTS ON THE TILES

Alas poor Joe, I knew him well
He fixed my roof before he fell!


SNAKE IN THE GRASS

Here lie the bones of Jones the vet
Inside his boa constrictor pet!


HE KNEW HIS STUFF

Ted,  taxidermist,  here doth lie
He stuffed himself with too much pie!


HAMMERED HOME

Here lies my auctioneer friend, Ron
His final ‘going, going gone!’

Thank you for taking the time to read them, Greg. It's fun to write something rather more light-hearted than sonnets at times!
