I am not grieved, my dearest life. Sleep on, I've got another wife. Therefore, I cannot come to thee For I must go and live with she.

Here lies Clyde – Whose life was full – Until he tried – To milk a bull.

He had sand in his craw, But was slow on the draw, So we planted him ‘neath the daisies.

To follow you I am not content, How do I know Which way you went.

Here lies the body of Emily White, she signalled left, and then turned right.

The manner of her death was thus; She was druv over by a Bus.

This is to the memory of Ellen Hill, a woman who would always have her will. She snubbed her husband but she made good bread. Yet on the whole he’s rather glad she’s dead.

Poems and Epitaphs are but stuff – Here lies Zed Blacksword – that’s enough

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

Grim death took me without any warning, I was well one day, and stone dead next morning.

I had a lover's quarrel with the world

Here lies old Jones, who all his life collected bones, till death, that grim and bony spectre, that all-amassing bone collector, boned old Jones, so neat and tidy, that here he lies all bona fide.

Until the brakes are turned on time, – Life's throttle-valve shut down. – He works to pilot in the crew – That wears the martyr's crown. – On schedule time, on upper grade – Along the homeward section. – He lands his train in God's roundhouse – The mom of resurrection. – His time is full, no wages docked, – His name on God's pay roll. – And transportation through to Heaven – A free pass for his soul.
