No Les No More

Here lies Les in his new dug grave All dressed up like an atheist in suit and tie With nowhere special to go at this time A liar by trade when he was alive On his tombstone are words he wrote If you are reading this I must be dead Don't step on the grass It was freshly planted Leave the same way you came No one lives forever or so they say So join me when you can Here lies Les still not alive So he must be dead already No Les no more could be surmised When you are dead and gone and buried Authors note: At the beginning of one of the many remakes of the movie Tombstone, a headstone depicts a cute etching, "RIP...Here lies Les...Put here by a 44... No Les No More." Short and sweet in my estimation.
