For SixContest #89, we invited you to bid farewell to 2016 with a Six-Word eulogy. 2016 was a year of epic tragedies (“Aleppo my heart weeps for you.” —@jennfel) and celebrated triumphs (“Cubs won World Series, Holy Cow.” —BHolt), although it will be remembered mostly for the former and not the latter (“2016 heartaches continue to bitter end.” —@hikealot2014). Politics and celebrity deaths grabbed the majority of this year’s headlines—likewise for your Six-Word eulogies (“Iconic artists died; con artist elected.” —Darryl Forman), which spanned the spectrum of opinions (“Election is over, whining is not.” —Judy_Gray and “Donald Trump Won. We All Lost.” —raymundo). By most accounts, 2016 was a surreal year that many are still attempting to digest (“What do you mean no do-overs?” —@JosephMBlank). Whatever your assessment of the year, it was truly remarkable (“Historians will have a field day.” —liberata). Introducing our Top Six Eulogies for 2016:
6. “The undertaker drew a heavy sigh.” —TheatreGeek
5. “2017 has easy shoes to fill.” —@GylGrinberg
4. “In lieu of flowers, send scotch.” —Oh_Skinny
3. “Here lies 2016: The Talent-Slayer Extraordinaire.” —jeneralizing
2. “Be gone Monkey, hello Rooster Year!” —Ghostwriter4love
And introducing the most eloquent eulogy for 2016:
1. “Humanity’s ready to turn the page.” —FKA_Liza
Congratulations to FKA_Liza and thanks to all who participated. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2017! Whether in our SixContests, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr or at sixwordmemoirs.com— keep on Sixing!

I like #6, but I also liked it in 1973 to the tune of Band on the Run.
