Another fun one, very humorous. Well done. They'll have to write small for this one too (like mine)! Best wishes for your entry in the contest!

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Lucky Ed wasn't too very lucky this time around. "And got shot in the face." pretty descriptive but it tells a story and gives me the vision I need.
Nicely done

Well Earl, this poem is not to my taste, but you did a good job with the epitaph. It never pays to cheat. I hope you have a wonderful evening and a better tomorrow. Shirley

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Well as some would say, "Duh." A fifth ace? No wonder he became
food for the worms. You did a great job with your contest entry,
Earl. The rhymes work well, there's smooth flow, the image was a
good pairing, and your message is clear--learn to count.
Best wishes, Jan

This is a very clever and amusing epitaph for "Lucky" Ed Place. I enjoyed it, even the gross last line. Thanks for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.

Comment from BethShelby
This is witty and funny Epitath. I guess it would be a little dangerous to play a fifth ace. If you believe those western movies, this might have been the way a lot of those boot hill residents found their way into the soil.

Hello Earl,
Looks like"lucky" finally found his place,
never good to play that extra ace.
Excellent humorous epitaph for the contest,
with good rhymes in the couplets.
Well done.
Better luck in the contest than Ed had.

I like this tongue in cheek short poem, it certainly packs a punch in it's narrative, and the bullet certainly did, I haven't read anything from you in a while Earl, well done, well dine, blessings, Roy

Earl, this is so cute and clever and a perfect entry for this prompt. The use of the witty end rhymes is creative and really enhances this verse. I wish you luck!!

Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
Witty! Make sure to check your title. When you copied it from your word processor, some punctuation marks don't work properly. Your epitaph brings up memories of old spaghetti westerns... I can almost smell the gunsmoke. Great job, good luck in the contest.
