Stones

Here beneath this pile of stones
Lies all that's left of Sally Jones
Her name was really Smith, not Jones
But Jones was used to rhyme with stones.

This is a wonderfully clever piece of meta-poetry! The rhythmic consistency and unbroken rhyme scheme perfectly set up the comedic timing of the punchline. It’s a brilliant, highly memorable epitaph that executes its joke perfectly without wasting a single syllable.
