This witty epitaph, Doing What He Loved, uses a limerick format to throw some dirt in Mr. Frost's face as he's interred in 'What Made You Think You Could Win Hill.

Since I entered my vote I was able to see that you were in the lead and I'm not surprised. The FanStory mention was a dead giveaway lol. Entered a few myself, but I'm not funny so this wasn't one of them lol. Good luck in the final hours.

    Thank you for the great review, M. Yeah, throw FS in there and you can count a couple stray votes, lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked this silly thing.

    I thought there used to be a cheaper base certificate for promoting a piece ( the Lucky), but I finally figured it out lol. Unfortunately, it takes quite some time in reviewing to get enough to promote anything. My little win helped. Thank you!

This is a great comic epitaph. I'd drop or change the note. It takes away from the general light-hearted fun of the poem. (I start thinking about the neglect of the family instead of the obsessive nature of the writer in his grave.) Maybe something about how/where he was found?? Just my thought...or some reviewer who can't help giving him suggestions...

    Thank you for the great review, Dawnya. Yeah, I was getting the feeling that the note was taking away from it too. I'll either change it or totally just take it out of there. I was just trying to make it sound more than just his health was being sacrificed but I think it takes it a little too far. The examples have a note but it doesn't really specify that there needs to be one. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked this silly thing. Have a great day.

This was very well done, good luck in the contest, poor Mr. Frost, not a contest winner and a man who also shunned the love of his family. He was indeed doomed at the hand of FS. Thanks for sharing.
