Notes About The Poem

Don't like the gender stereotypes, but I like the idea of funny grave stones in the front yard!!

- Secret Address -

No one could see the face of the grieving widow

                Mates, ladies and beer was his faithful companions

                    A final greeting and blessing from his friends:

           "Good luck Tom, in your new residence with secret address"

                                              ~ ~ ~

A fine wit we have here, a fitting tombstone I must say, I would have added if I was the " grieving widow" would be "Now I know where you are at night, and happy to have you stay"...Maria xxx

Dear Anne-Lise: Is this based on a real-life story? Anyhow, I like the humour in the cryptic. Leon
