John Page

Beloved by his town 
He had suddenly passed on 
The obituary read he was gone 

His family decided a theater in town 
Would be used since the man was renown 

So they rented the theater 
And placed him for view 
Come pay your respects to John Page 

The newspaper said 
That for only one night 
His body will appear “live” on stage
