Young At Heart....But Dead!

. ~ Here lies Carrie Ghoulish ~ She lost her head acting foolish She lived much too merry, a bit contrary Struck down in youth by old age ~ She didn't gauge very well ~ ~ On the upside...No More Hot Flashes No more crowsfeet, no more wrinkles, no more creases ~ May She Rest In Pieces

Nice Poem...but I have to ask if it is a complete fabrication or something symbolic of your life.

A great one and a winner I am sure. She wanted funny and you gve it to her. About my Snowflkes poem. yes that is a very good picture of my early childhood in North Dakota. Sometimes it was covered rigs and sometimes open sleighs or sleds. And Dan was our horse who always got us there. Love, joyce
