[rip] compose your own epitaph


If you were allowed from 9 to 11 words, what would be the epitaph you'd like to see on your tombstone?

If that's too difficult, compose one for some fitting person who is not a fellow commenter here.

UPDATE: Classic - Tom Paine's even gone so far as to have his tombstone done.

On this subject James here's a great song that gets to me every time, please listen to the lyrics and soak them in............and try not to shed a tear I just did watching it again.

The song is called "Things The Grandchildren Should Know" by The Eels and its just what it says on the box...

Apropos of William Gruff: Free of prejudice, he loathed all those he loved not.

James Higham said...

I might run a 'best of' here at a later date.

UBERMOUTH said...

Then in that case, I change mine to:

My name was writ on Diet Coke.

"Yes, she died with her lipstick on." [Very cheerful to come over here and the first thing I see at the top of the blog is a tombstone, I must say.]
