Congratulations on your honorable mention in the tombstone contest--there was fierce competition! I enjoyed your rhymes and the lesson about eating nuts slowly too. The "Squirrels" were a clever touch too. Cheers- Joan

LOL. Tragedy has always been related to humor. Lucky squirrels, they got the rest of the peanuts. There's always a winner for every loser. Great humor, caught me off guard. Well crafted. Les

LOL - This is really funny. What I like is that you didn't just rhyme, didn't TRY to make it funny. The wit behind your words is very clever and I'm cracking up at the thought of the squirrels ignoring a dead body and finishing off the nuts. Hugs, Lou

nicely done. this was amusing and teaches us all an important lesson when t comes to eating nuts! if i had one issue it would be with the rhythm of the final line- i think it read like it needed another syllable- although that may have been just me. thanks for putting a smile on my face ;)

Poor Sammy Joe should have known better than to try and eat all the peanuts by himself, if he shared with the squirrels they could provably saved his life. Lol

Good tombstone submission a nut dies eating a nut. A neat little poem and epitaph to make folks laugh. A accident and what it is meant to eat too fast

It is going to be a hard job picking a winner out of all the excellent entries for this contest. Yours is really good, and the last line about the squirrel eating the remaining nuts, is hilarious. Well done, and good luck! xsx Sandra

Great effort. I had a hamster called Sammy Joe who escaped and was nowhere to be found. Then we saw it running around the garden, having doubled in weight.

This is a quirky piece and the rhythm and rhyme keep it bright.

Good luck
Fiona
