Under this dirt here lies a liar,
A cheat, a scoundrel, someone to admire.
He lived like any bastard would;
trying to steal as much as he could.
His life was a good one,
Happy, long, and sweet
By the end he weighed a ton
with awful stinky feet.
But now he's down under
hanging out with Satan.
body and soul asunder,
he will never straighten.

hmm very interesting. i like how you made this different by contrasting the usual epitatph which is commonly flowerly and one-dimensonal.
-
haha this was a good one.

at first I though it was very serious,
but it made me smile towards the end.
would be an interesting piece on a gravestone.

LOL- my favorite part was- he lived like any bastard would, trying to steal as much as he could.
Thanks for the laugh! -
This is a good concept. Though it kinda sounded to me like you should be a horrible person cause hangin with satan is fun..well i guess that might be your point. im not knocking it, im just saying it threw me off. the rhyme scheme seemed forced...but its pretty much a diddy so it doesnt matter. Love and Peace, Charlene.
