This was so cathartic to read. So uplifting. Reminded me Ginni has replaced my obsession with Phyllis Schlafly. Who still doesn’t have the perfect epitaph yet in my mind.
YouTube link is the song about the word "super..." from the 1964 Mary Poppins movie. "backwards" is when she - Mary Poppins - says the super... word backwards. Here's the link through Bing, which is the same as the YouTube link.
Your epitaphs are the best!
Thank you!
Brilliant! I needed a laugh out loud this morning. Cheers Greg ❤
Cheers!

There once was a womxn named Ginni
Whose political thoughts ran willy nilly.
Epitaphists need to hunt
for a nice way to call her a...
(A lightening bolt struck the writer down mid epitaph)
Oooh, ouch, Stephen...I like it!
Her scarf is awful, for one thing...
Wonderful irreverence on a Sunday morning! Thank You! Shared!
Thank you!
Excellent epitaphs Greg, a slice of humor on a Sunday morn is always welcome 🙏!
We all need a laugh now and then...
LOVED THIS! Well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
I’m not so sure about your iambic and trochaic usage… this seems to flow a little better:
The moment he died is truly when
He made America great again
Too long.
Used "he" twice
Truly. Ugh.
The moment
he died
made
America greater
It must rhyme, though.
To cal's comment:
The moment he died is truly when
America was made great again
St 82. I'm confused
At 82 I'm really slow
I was just trying to "fix" Stephen from Sunny Seattle's line above by taking out the second "he." Still too long, though.
The problem is that his crappy slogan lacks poetical meter...
Very good Greg.
I like the short one "Here Lies"
And
Don Juan
"Here lie the bones and ashes of the worst man the world had ever known."
Miguel de Manara
Dorothy Parker: "Excuse my dust."
Epitaph advice
"Don't Try"
Charles Bukowski
Enjoyed your epitaphs! They are the epi-tomb-e' of deserved irreverence!
Ha! Well played, Donna!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Greg Olear!

Now that song is in my head...
Here: lies - absolutely the best! I'm still smiling at your epitaphs.
Thanks! I wrote that when I was just about to hit publish. It suddenly came to me. And it's the best one for sure.
Thanks.
I failed to see that film.
Thanks Greg
This was fun
Very nice, thanks.
