The Gravestone of Melanie Walker

Here lies Melanie Walker.
A legendary hooker of old.
Her customers must have loved her
because they bought her a coffin of gold.

Ah, but it might have been the wives who purchased the coffin, and using Melanie's ill-won gold. I like this one mucho. Congrats on the selection. daver
