i hate it
when they stand
above my grave
recalling things
i’ve never said
nor even considered
saying
and listen to
all those lame
excuses
why
they didn’t have
time
to stop by
for a visit
when i was alive
you’d think
they’d have
the decency
not to put out
their cigarettes
on my head
and why
in the world
would you not
wear underwear
when visiting the dead
i swear
i was better off
alive
Read Between the Minds 
A unique perspective!
Oh you made me smile 🙂
What a view that must be–love the twist at the end!
Very creative. I never thought about being in a grave like this and imagining what others would say to or about me. Fantastic piece!
This definitely made me chuckle.
this makes me chuckle…
and, it makes me always want to choose to go commando if I visit the cemetary.

i too prefer to express my love to living beings. i think thats the better, sure way to know that it has reached the recipient.
This is great, I needed a good chuckle today..thank you.
I also want to say thank you for always being so kind to read my posts and comment. I am grateful for your words and your kindness.
you had me smiling at the beginning
& laughing at the end.
great perspective
Ahahaha! The underwear bit’s a nice detail.
Hahaha – very droll 🙂
ha – some cemetery write as well…yours made me smile..
So funny, except for the cigarettes and I think the alive part may have been a bit of sarcasm… I enjoyed the perspective…. it was very deep. (ha, ha)
This one really hit me deep… Such a great flow… Well done:)
I can only visualize you hovering above them, Charles.
Great! Can I borrow this one as my epitaph? 🙂
Awesome write Charles! I always find it strange that folks ‘show their respects’ when they barely spoke to the deceased in their life….we humans are strange creatures xx
Brought a smile and a laugh to me! This is a very well done change of perspective on a problem that seems more and more prevalent. Kind of reminds me of the opening scene of Gran Torino.
Chuckles. What a spin.
Ha! Love it!
