More Epitaphs Observed At Evergreen Cemetery

Cecil the Magician knew a heap of tricks, But, alas, couldn't get himself out of this fix! Carl was laid to rest for his eternal snooze, Brought about by guzzling too much booze! Pete was a rock-hard liberal Democrat. Lord, be merciful and forgive him for that! 'Twas well-known that Cletus was such a crooked politician, That he had to be screwed in the ground by the mortician! Buster was shot while fencing his plunder. Now he lies a-moldering six feet under! Clarice was an avid tea party conservative Republican. Democrats need her vote - Lord, convert her if you can! Fred met his doom when his plane malfunctioned. To make matters worse his parachute disfunctioned! Here reposes the mortal shell of Marty McCall, Who met his doom in a barroom brawl! Bob sank without a trace and things looked grim. He tried to tell them that he couldn't swim! At last he found peace when he suddenly died, But now his shrewish wife dwells by his side! The doc warned him about all that cholesterol. Too much meat and taters brought about his fall! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) 2015 All Rights Reserved
