Notes About The Poem

Gentle Jim

Here lies little Bill – He took such a bad spill… It happened at his still, Making liquor was his thrill Here lies gentle Jim – His heart was never dim, He died after losing a limb – Drowned because he couldn’t swim Here lies smiling Ruth – Who always had a sweet tooth, She died – it is the gospel truth, From the extraction of a wisdom tooth
