Epitaph For a Fair-Haired-Lad

Here lies a fair-haired-lad
    who ran like the wind
  Loved both his parents
    never once sinned

  Made one mistake
    he fell for a nun
  She trimmed his blonde locks
    ~ no more could he run

Samson certainly beats 'Son of Sam.' (Remember that murderer from NYC, Sam Berkovitz?)

Ha, ha, ha! Love your humor, John. Here's one for you totally off of the subject: What do Ohio State University and marijuana have in common? -- They both get smoked in a bowl. Laughter and levity, Gershon
