Epitaph


Having no wish to be remembered, I do
What makes a name or two endure,
Without the right to be among those few:
An epitaph is all I might secure -
A wreath of rhyme - with words by me - or you!
And these are mine - of which I'm rather sure:
Here (or is it there?) lies John-Charles Cooke,
Whom love mislaid, and life (he said) mistook!

I would love to have something like that on my tombstone.
Loved the "here (or is it there ?) " comment. Would appreciate it if you checked my work out.
