Today, for whateve reason, is write your own epitaph day. So now is your chance to dream and tout all those things you plan on doing before you die. There are a bunch of different approaches you can take.Do you prefer the elegiac mode, like Oscar Wilde:

"ALIEN TEARS WILL FILL FOR HIM

PITY'S LONG-BROKEN ERN,

FOR HIS MOURNERS WILL BE OUTCAST MEN,

AND OUTCASTS ALWAYS MOURN".

Or, perhaps, one based more upon anger and retribution. such as the epitaph of Jesse James:

"MURDERD (sic) BY A TRAITOR AND A COWARD WHOSE

NAME IS NOT WORTHY TO APPEAR HERE"


If I come up with something fun, I'll repost this later with my own.

Excelsior.
