Here lies my dear brother Fred

who passed in the prime of his life.

By huffy old codger shot dead

while shagging the codger’s young wife.

Correction to my initial response. I referred to the man as Uncle Fred only to realize it was your Brother Fred. Either way Fred is dead.

Your Uncle Fred is dead because it has been said, don't take a chance to wear another man's pants. Great poem! Congrats on your win!

A lot of dead Freds in this contest. This one at least died happy (presumably). Congrats on your top ten placement in my contest.

Thank you so much, Ilene, I appreciate it. I was worried that humor might be a little too much on the naughty side. John

Oops!! He's been caught and now- he's dead. Hmm, I guess he won't do that again. :) Ohhh that's right, he can't. Lol. Something different from your pen, but different is good. Your thoughts brought a smile. ~ Brandy
