A Riff-Raff's Epitaph

by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

I sit down to write my epitaph
In a few words; not a paragraph...
I try putting some words on paper
But they vanish like water vapour...!

I then tried to analyze
And came to realize
That I’m just a riff-raff
Undeserving of an epitaph...

Amidst a growth of unruly weed,
My epitaph shall thus aptly read:
“Here lies a silly, stupid riff-raff
Who doesn’t need an epitaph”!!!
