My Gravestone Says


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing I

My gravestone says she lived and died
It gives out months and days
It also says she was the beloved
Wife of one John Hayes.
It doesn't say she had a kid
Though many know she did
It doesn't say she had a hand
In everything John planned.
My gravestone says she lived and died
Ignores that she laughed and cried.
I think if I could modify it some
I'd have them throw in my green thumb!
