Suggested Epitaphs
Now, I'm a very average and simple guy,
But, doggone it, when it comes my time to die,
I'd like a nice epitaph etched upon my stone,
To fondly remember me by when I'm gone!
Here are a few suggestions for you to mull over,
When I cease to function and am planted 'neath the clover.
You are at liberty to pick and choose any one.
If needed, form a committee to get the job done!
"He always enjoyed a fine cigar;
He passed on ere too much tar!"
"Upon my stone let no bird alight;
If they do, please clean off the blight!"
"If you think this place has no appeal;
How the heck do you think I feel!"
"Old Bob owns this piece of real estate;
But no one has seen him as of late!"
Folks it's up to you to make a selection.
Just remember me with fond affection.
Choose whatever you think fits me best,
Then leave me alone to enjoy my rest!
