  -----------------                 ------------------------------
   Here lies the body of          At rest beneath this slab of stone
     Fat Mary Preston               Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt
   Who's now moved to heaven      He died one morning just at ten
     to relieve the Congestion.     and saved a dinner by it.

  Death Valley:
  -------------
  Here lies the body of poor Aunt Charolette
  Born a virgin, died a harlot;
  For 16 years she kept her virginity,
  a damn'd long time for this vicinity.

  In a Moultrie Goergia Cemetery:
  -------------------------------
  Here lies the father of twenty nine.
  We woulda had more, but he did'nt have time.

  In a Enosburg Falls, VA Cemetery:
  ---------------------------------
  Here lies the body of Anna
  Done to death by a bannana,
  It was'nt the fruit that laid her low,
  But the skin of the thing that made her go.

  Battersea London Cemetery:
  --------------------------
  OWEN MOORE:
    Gone away
  Owin' more
    Than he could pay.
