Tails of Mopey Dope

Mopey dope
Uncope
Hung rope
No cope 
Now dope 
Grope on rope
No hope 
Dopey
Hung down
Hung deep down
Now 
Forever gone dope

Sponsor: Nikko Palmario
Contest: Heads or Tails
Tails my choice
I did not intend to make fun of anyone
who has depression or has had thoughts
of suicide..

I am punishing myself by passing by the entries that I had to eliminate because of the sneaky letters! This was also really good, Sara! I was so sorry to see this one go too-- there was the sneaky letter "L" there for long and low :(--- shucks! but yes, this was a very creative way on touching on suicide...thank you for joining my contest and very clever take on the title by the way!
