I was at a local gardenon Friday, where there re lots of benches dedicated to someone, with an inscription. One of my favorite plaques says something like "mother, grandmother, drama queen..." , and something else funny about the person being remembered. I have often thought what do I want on my plaque whether on a bench or by a tree, to amuse and remind those who know me of more than just my dates of birth and death.
Having given it some thought, it would be along the lines of:
"good enough mother, dog lover, rabid lefty till the end, intolerant of bigots, but mainly kind"
What's on yours?
Love it!
when Im in a sober mood, I worry work & think
when Im in a drunken mood I gamble play & drink
but when my moods are over and my time has come to pass
I hope Im buried upside down so the world can kiss my ar**
Come on, there must be more of you to add to this thread. I want to be amused and moved by your thoughts about yourself. Or am I being too flippant?
Probaly accompanied by the song " poisoning pigeons in the park"
A it risky but on my headstone.
Friends I am resting
Under this stone
Cool, unprotesting,
Kingly, alone
Younger than sunshine,
Older than youth
Ugly as unashamed truth.
I blame you for any fallout OBS.
Not for a bench, but for my headstone
