    Don’t text and Fly.

    with picture of witches broom instead of typical flowers or heart.

  2. Our Girl Peg

    She was sickly but sweet.
    Unsteady on her feet.
    Such a young age, though very brave.
    Now she really has one foot in the grave.

    *Inspired by your prosthetic leg, well, your neighbor’s mom’s prosthetic leg, but you know what I mean…

  3. Gil Ted Intuette

    “Just once won’t kill you.”
    That’s what they said.
    I bowed to peer pressure.
    Now I am dead.

  4. Here lies

    Aday Late

    A dollar short

    Wanted a margarita during my bubble bath.
    Should’ve made it before I got in the tub.

    I miss you. (that’s not the epitaph, but I suppose it could be) I am working on a $850M cell service upgrade project and it made me think of you. It made me think that about $100M is probably attributed just to you and your tweets. Could you kindly leave some G’s for the rest of the country? That should be one of the tombstones, here lies 4G, it wasn’t enough for Jen’s tweets. I am glad I took a moment to pop by, you never disappoint.
