This is a great poem for the Witty Epitaph prompt. You did a good job on telling a story in such few sentences. I hope you the best.

Very nicely done. It reads very smoothly and makes good use of rhyme. I really have nothing more to say, but need a little more length to get this past the brevity filter. Good luck.

I love the candy/dandy/randy rhyming - I haven't heard the word "randy" in years - it is perfect :-) This is a perfect epitaph for this contest. Brooke

Speaking of the word "randy" - I had one reviewer who said he was going to dock me for using that word because he had never heard of it before. Had to look it up and prove to himself it was a real word! I got a real kick out of that. Thanks for stopping by - glad you liked my epitaph.

I had a woman give me a 4 a year ago because I used the verb slake, as in slake one's thirst - even after I promised her it is an honest to gosh word, and not really all that obscure a word, she swore to me that it was not in either of her dictionaries and scolded me for being incapable of accepting criticism.
It takes all kinds. LOL

This is the second one I have read about a prostitute. Popular subject I guess. Good luck in the contest with this witty entry. Well done. Bravo

I don't know why I thought of a prostitute for the main character here - not something I normally do, however the contest seemed to call for "colorful" characters, and Caroline Candy just popped into my head to save the day! Thanks for the nice review and five star rating.

Thank you, Susanne. Sweet Caroline just materialized out of nowhere for this contest and demanded that she be included in this contest. Hmmm...wonder why - don't you suppose she got plenty of attention in life?

Thanks again! :-)

Yes, Yes and Yes. You fulfilled the obligation of a witty epitaph and it is delightful. With a touch of humor, you got your point across. What a wonderful picture to go with your words. It really makes sense the way you put it, like Candy was dandy. Good luck in the contest.

Very cute but what a horrible person to give candy to a diabetic. LOL. This was a fun epitaph to read and review. Nice art work also. Good job.

Thank you, Amfunny. The giving candy to diabetics idea just popped into my head at the last minute. It is a bit twisted, but it made me smile so I stuck it in there hoping it would put a smile on reader's faces too! :-)
