  Hello,

  The reality of impending death is our one certainty. If we are fortunate enough to live for 70 years, we will have lived for 840 brief months.

  The womb to the tomb is a rapid journey.

  I once wandered through a cemetery in a town called Rochester in the UK and always having a fascination for last words, I happened upon the C19th tombstone of a man who had been fatally struck while playing cricket! It read:

  Here lies the bones of one, poor Louch,
  A cricketer so staunch,
  That vexed his hands should miss the ball,
  He caught it in the paunch.

  Now, if you were to write each others ‘last words’ what would we write; not our own I emphasize but each others?

  Here is one for you Fred.

  Here lies interred our Frederick Hall
  who finally succumbed to his upward call,
  his litter box holds little cheer,
  save bones, and dust, and an apostates tear…

  Hillary,

  I see you want to clean my litter box. Do you need a shovel?

  Sorry Fred,

  It has to be in couplets. Your offering is just not poetic enough.

  LOL. Very nice. How bout one for Yadirf??

  Here lies a man consumed with hate
  Obsessed with making gay men straight
  Eternity awaits, for his skills to employ
  for on left then on right, rest Siegfried and Roy.

  Here lies the bones of Naeblis
  Who he really is is anyones guess
  He makes us laugh with his good cheer
  And look he has been here almost a year
  His dreams they are quite contrary
  Enough to make a grown girl wary

  How was that one?

  Here in this tomb lies a man
  Who's namesake is actually a band
  Of stones, and rocks, and very steep
  Hillary Step on the way to the highest peak.
  If he has been there we will never know
  Because he is underneath us now, growing cold

  Or that?

  Oh I am not very good but this is fun

  Underneath this stone is a human
  the founder of Logical Conclusion
  A man, a woman, a lost soul
  He has finally found his gold

  Had a life but couldn’t keep-her
  He put it in a litter tray
  And there he kept it every day

  Here lies Wendy, a gentle soul
  Kind to all, in compassion whole
  In earthen womb her remains are tucked
  Unfortunately her poetry really sucked.
