my feelngs about tombstones

Tombstones can be plain
Baby girl smith 1845
Or fancy with scripture
Here Lies Pat “this is the day that the lord has made.
Let us be glad and have joy it it.”

Some of the modern ones have electronic videos.
You can hear the deceased singing or giving advice.
With one push of the button.
You can stay there all day and listen to this.

My children do not have to worry.
I do not believe in tombstones.
They seem creepy to me.
I do not like their implied message.

I think they imply that our shells are important.
Mine is not. I will not be having a tombstone.
I have already paid for my cremation.
Glad to take all this out of my children’s hands.
