And the Devil sent him Anna.

Pardon me
For not rising.

Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.

In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:
Here lays Butch,
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger,
But slow on the draw.

A widow wrote this epitaph in a Vermont cemetery:
Sacred to the memory of
my husband John Barnes
who died January 3, 1803
His comely young widow, aged 23, has
many qualifications of a good wife, and
yearns to be comforted.


A lawyer's epitaph in England:
Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange.

A vegetarian perhaps:
Under the sod and under the trees
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.
He is not here, there's only the pod:
Pease shelled out and went to God.

On Margaret Daniels grave at Hollywood Cemetery Richmond, Virginia:
She always said her feet were killing her
but nobody believed her.


On the grave of Owen Moore in Battersea, London, England:
Gone away
Owin' more
Than he could pay.

Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York:
Born 1903--Died 1942
Looked up the elevator shaft to see if
the car was on the way down. It was.

And finally:
Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.
