Here lies Sue Age 102
The Good Die Young

I was somebody.
Who, is no business of yours

In perfect health,
died in a sudden & unexpected manner,
while reading tombstones.

Here lies the body Of Margaret Bent
She kicked up her heels
And away she went.

Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas pedal
Instead of the brake

Kenton Bleep
He sowed,
others reaped.

All you that do behold my stone,
Consider how soon I was gone
Death does not always warning give
Therefore be cautious, how you live
Repent in time no time delay
In my youth I was called away

Jeanine Custis
She failed her breathalizer test
now she lays with the best

but nobody believed her.

Lies Uncle Peter Dan'els

Took off his winter flannels

Quoth the Raven nevermore.

At rest beneath this slab of stone
Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt;
He died one morning just at ten,
And saved a dinner by it.
