Bruce Bennett has a number of epigrams scattered throughout his books.

Here's one:

ON BEING INSTRUCTED TO SEND ON A CHAIN LETTER

A chance to have FIVE readers? Friendly too?
The chain be hanged! I send this poem to you.


This may not exactly be an epigram, but it's a favorite of mine:

THE GARDEN

I'm going out to mash a slug or two.
They're wasting my tomatoes, oozing slime
On everything I own. I think it's time
The bastards learned a lesson. You come too.
