WRITER

She tried to write.

She tried to live.

She tried to die.



Wait a minute... did she die?

Would someone please check it out?

It is totally legit to sneak one in now and again!

But, generally speaking, thinking about death really puts perspective on things, though, doesn’t it? :thumbsup:

"I never could pass up the chance to lie down."

Or:

"I'm not a celebrity so go away."

Or:

"They lied. You can take it with you."

Or:

"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted..."

Or:

Here lies a thief.
"I could not stop for Death, so he kindly stopped for me."
(Even my last words are stolen.)

Or:

"Damn. Feels just like being alive."

Or:

"See? Told ya I'd do anything to get out of jury duty."

Or:

"Help! I'm allergic to satin!"

Or:

"Did Edwards win?"

Or:

"Has anyone at DU said they miss me?"

70. Since Benjamin Franklin's epitaph is in the public domain
I would use his, inserting my name and occupation in place of "Benjamin Franklin, Printer":

The body of
CLEVELAND ROCKS, Writer,
Like the cover of an old book,
its contents torn out,
and stript of its lettering and gilding,
lies here food for worms;
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will (as he believed) appear once more
in a new and more beautiful edition
Corrected and amended
by the Author.
