Comment from NurseBarb

Excellent

Creative and witty writing. I like the initial poem describing the person first, then the writing on the tomb stone. Very well done!

Oh, now this is just too hilarious! I can't imagine anyone would really want that as an epitaph, but then again, I'll bet it would be popular!!! LOL Best of luck!

Ha-ha, whaddaya mean, Dawn? If you think O Muck Fee's epitaph is bad, you should see what I'm having put on my tombstone, LOL!

I'm glad you liked it, and thanks a bunch for your encouraging review. :}

Comment from Dom G Robles

Excellent

I read this poem with little mockery. This, I think it is appropriate for the contest on the "Epitaph." But I suppose, it is inappropriate to discredit the soul of an individual, specially a woman who is already dead, for the simple reason that she/he is already resting in peace. However, the poem is excellent. It expressed fully its theme and intent. My own personal view.

It is a joke, Dom, and this person does not truly exist, see? He is make believe, a figment of my imagination, nothing more. Is it truly so realistic that you believed it to be a real person? Is the witty epitaph about the exploding, color blind bomb squad member any less realistic, the entry that is winning?

I would never be so cold or calloused as to mock the spirit of a dead person.

Oh, thank you. I really did not mean to discredit the writer. It is just a superficial comment. And you did your work pretty well. But my view from the very beginning is not addressed to you, my friend. -- to the creator of the contest. cheers!

reply by the author on 19-Oct-2014

I am not sure who originally started these "witty epitaph" contests, Dom. But it would be my sincerest hope that no one would intentionally belittle or discredit some poor dead person for real, and that those reading them would not take them too seriously. It's all meant in the spirit of satirical fun... :}

End of the game, my friend. Thank you, thank you. I admire your comments. Truly. Dom

Thanks very much, Jean. Once again, it looks as if I am going to need all of the luck I can get. I'm really glad you liked it. :}

reply by Acquired Taste on 19-Oct-2014

I so enjoy a sardonic, mocking twist to most any work I read. That, dear sir, takes talent - not simply rhyming words or writing about puppies and kittens. Nuff said.J

Even the portals of Hell would turn him away.
Put to shame and ridiculed he was baffled that anyone would have the last word.

Wasn't he though, Charlene? If you thought O Mick Fee's epitaph was bad, then you would certainly cringe in horror at what I am having inscribed on my tombstone, LOL.

Thanks for the review. :}

Comment from stroncoso1

Excellent

Fabulous and hilarious! I like your clever poem and it's humorous tone. "a true tongue-fu master," that line made me laugh. Your epitaph gives a bit of background making your poem even more meaningful. LOL! A haiku poet! Good luck in the contest. What fun!

Hah, well, I'm very happy that you think so at least, giovannimariatommaso, because not too many of the voters seem to think it is all that creative or clever. I kinda thought it was, LOL...

Anyhow, I sincerely appreciate the fact that you "got it", and I am very grateful for the six star rating as well. :}
