Carved In Stone

Here lies Bea At a hundred and three In the place she vowed She’d never be She always swore She’d never die Till all who bugged her In the grave would lie She hung on tight To the very end No foe was left For flowers to send Let’s raise a glass And shed a tear She sure raised hell while she was here!
