Task 14: Grave Poems

For this task I want you to write a suitable epitaph for three people.

For example:

Shirley Moore

Here lie the remains

Of Shirley Moore

No Shirl

No more.

Or:

Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake;

 Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
~ Pennsylvania Tombstone

Or:

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

Or:

To save your world you asked this man to die:
Would this man, could he see you now, ask why?
~Unknown Soldier

Or:

Here lays Butch.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.
~Arizona Tombstone

Or:

Bill Blake

Was hanged by mistake.

~Colorado Tombstone

Or:

Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.
~Unknown Tombstone

Or:

Captain Thomas Coffin
Died 1842, age 50 years.
He's done a-catching cod
And gone to meet his God.
~A fisherman’s tombstone

Or:

Here lies Lester Moore; Four slugs from a .44; No Les No More.
~ Tombstone Arizona

Or:

Mary Weary, Housewife
Dere Friends I am going
Where washing ain't done
Or cooking or sewing:
Don't mourn for me now
Or weep for me never:
For I go to do nothing
Forever and ever!
~House wife tombstone
