    My Epitaph
    My Epitaph

    If labor is work and work is a pain
    Then what in the heck do I have to gain?
    To toil and to sweat, to clean and to sweep
    Is it not much better to slumber and sleep?

    Yes, work's over-rated, though most disagree
    Those making a name, not saving a tree
    The truth is that when this life's said and done
    The work won't be missed...but ahh, we'll miss fun!

    Thanks! Yeah, gotta get some levity or I'll turn into another Sylvia Plath and NO ONE needs that, do they? :)

    Thx for your comment, Rhymer. I like "deep" poetry, but my sense of humor MUST come out from time-to-time. Glad it made you smile. That was the point. :) And those are 2 of my grandsons with me in the pic. My loves. :) ~~Sandy

    Reminds of the grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper had tons of fun, but when it came winter-time he was cold and hungry.

    Personally I love cold weather and it wouldn't hurt me to lose a few lbs either. :) Can't get too serious in writing silly poems. Thx for your comment.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
