That's a helluva tall order. Next you'll be saying it has to be in iambic pentameter. We don't know anything about you which makes it even trickier. I'm also not fond of the ten syllable thing. Check out Shakespearean Sonnets for inspiration. I'm busy with some free verse. Here's a start for you though

I wish that I had been able to write
The words for my very own epitaph
I tried Yahoo but the results were sh**e

Time to learn...

I won't write your epitaph for you - couldn't if I wanted to as I don't know anything about you! But here are some sites where you can read some funny epitaphs and get ideas:

I knew I shouldn't have smoked in my bed
My mum told me that it would be unwise
I thought I coughed but it seems that I'm dead
It took both me and my mum by surprise
Now I wish I hadn't have lit the fire
That caused both me and the cat to expire

This is absurd. I don't know poetry.
I should not be expected to try this.
In the end, where will it ever get me?
This is not a key to my happiness.
Everyone has their own given talents.
Mine have nothing to do with word sequence.

here lies the body of Deadwood Dick.
The only man with a corkscrew dick.
All his life was a great big hunt.

I lived, I loved, I died, all in a rush;
but I'll don't regret one single minute.
I did some things that would make my Ma blush;
but this it was my one chance to be in it!

I hope and pray I won't be forgotten...



C'mon...I've got to leave you SOMETHING to do!

I can't think of one that complicated but I do like the one, I think Spike Milligan used- 'I told you I was ill'. I'll have to have a little think! x
