What Will "They" Say About You ... When You Ain't No Mo? Why Not 'Beat Them To It?' Can You Face Your Mortality With Humor? Is There Anything 'Funny' About Death? Maybe Not ... But There Is Certainty ... Is It Not? Can We At Least "Take It With A Grain of Salt?" OH! the Pic? Halloween 2011 ... 'DONUT DUDE' ... "Time To Make The Donuts!"

My Epitaph © - Tom Hyland - 5/14/13 Here Lies Ole TK Junior, His Ashes in This Ole Fruit Jar, No Money Wasted on a Casket ... Better Spent At Some Ole Bar! Some Say he Was Funny, Others Say he Was Kind, A Few Called him a Cur ... Totally Out of his Mind! Singer of Karaoke, Actor On a Stage, Never Made Much Money ... His Writings Made No Wage! Some Say "Ne'er-Do-Well" Others Say "He Was Happy" A Very Few Liked his Rantings ... But Knave Matlack Said "'Twere Crappy!" Some Say he Made "The Pearly Gates" For, As a Maverick he Was Undaunted, Others Say "Quite The Opposite" ... For This 'They' Will Certainly Be Haunted! "One If By Land, Two If By Sea ... I On The Opposite Shore Shall Be!" So ... If'n You Ever Get To Heaven ... Stop By ... And ... See Me! (C) - TKH.

A fun read, TK. I do believe the subject of the epitaph is smart, funny and fully alive, totally involved in life. Are you SURE he's going to heaven? If he happens to go in the other direction I hope he stops by to see ME. I won't be hard to find. I'll be the one perpetually cleaning out the refrigerator and the oven. LOL

Dear Donut Dude,

A very finely penned epitaph indeed,
And do I hope that you will be back;
If and when you begin haunting folks,
Please start with the devilish Matlack.

I got a charge out of this! I'd hate to be one of the people who would be haunted!

Love ya!
