Hello my fellow bloggers! Hope life is going your way! Anyway we are still continueing poems and today we are learning about Epitahs. If you dont know what an Epitah is then ill tell you, an Epitah is a poem which is inscriped on a grave stone to honour those who passed. There are 2 kinds, one is like sad and sorrowfull and the other is funny and gross. We are doing funny Epitahs in which we had to think of a bad habit and then try rhyme it.
