Epitaph of Meldew Lee
Here lies the remains of Meldew Lee
A pillar of the community.
Strove always to better his life
Had a loving family and a wife,
One night he went drinking around the town
Then headed for home trousers half down.
He came upon a young man in a doorway
Which prompted Meldew to say;
Here is a pound coin for a cuppa tea
And then on the homeless man he did pee.
The young man was too shocked to moan
And Meldew laughed as he turned for home.
But on that fateful night he missed a turning
He did not see the warning.
Tripped over a pipe and fell into a sewer
And drowned in a pool of urine and manure.
