Oh my! Now that is a "killer" epitaph. I don't think it bodes well for the wife either but the epitaph makes the sad story rather funny. Congratulations on the win!!

Lol. I shouldn't laugh at a story about a person who died, but this is too humorous. Congratulations on your well deserved win of the Witty Epitaph contest. You found a really funny picture to accompany your poem. Poor Ned deserved everything he got.

Congratulations on your win. This pithy piece certainly qualifies as a witty epitaph, being brief and funny, with the added advantage of a four-line rhyme scheme. The accompanying image is extremely apt.

Lol... my rolling pin is made of marble and is quite heavy. I could definitely knock somebody's lights out with it. Somehow, I missed this one. Congratulations on the win, Douglas!

Ned had it coming, too busy cheating to imagine his end was so near. Rest in peace, Ned, there will be no flowers on your grave, or tears to water them.

I was laughing out loud as I read this. It is so hilarious, witty, and just downright fun. I can picture her conking him on "cheating head" with a baking roller! (lol).

Loved this - good luck in the contest.

Great entry for the Witty Epitaph writing prompt contest. Good humor. Nice presentation. Good rhyme that doesn't sound forced.

Good luck.

This was cute. I liked your rhymes especially. I'm not saying I would kill someone, but I think she was justified. LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
