This epitaph, Rhymin' Randy Orange, connects our poetry site with those who would boast of their prowess even to the point of comparing themselves to the Bard. A funny line, "My rhymin' is something sublime"

Hah! This has to be you, Mikey, it just has to be! If not, then I apologize, Mystery Poet, but it has his signature all over it!

By far the most clever, funniest epitaph I've read so far.

Start counting your "funny money" right now, my friend...whomever you are!

Is this "Mikey" character that obvious? Hahaha. This did come out pretty good I must admit. Thank you kindly!!

A good entry in this witty epitaph contest! You would have to feel extremely sorry for this self deceived poetic, who challenged God and finished up on the losing end of the discussion, well done, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy.

I think this is rather long to fit on a tombstone, but it's still very clever and fun, and teaches us not to challenge God, as the devil isn't the only owner of fire. :-)

Good luck.

Cheers, Ray

A bit long, true. But, it is a long winded poet after all! Yep, famous last words indeed. Thanks for the positive words!

fantastic rhymes
I love this guy's self confidence, if that is strong enough a term LOL
the closing rhyme has me over the edge with laughter :-)
good touch of alliteration in bit braggadocios
and in something sublime so slick
fantastic cause of death :-) Brooke

Very witty and humorous. Good rhythm and very clever and unusual usage of the rhyme. The pictures are self explanatory and very well presented. They enhance the humor of your words.
