The Two Epitaphs

Two Epitaphs written on two separate gravestones.

Two Epitaphs

 

The first gravestone reads:

 

He was, it's true, a sneaky man

His wife said this annoyed her.

He had commited total sin

He made himself a lawyer.

He spent his time and resources

Helping those who were bad.

He made, we're sure, some dozens

Of good people very sad.

So here lies sneaky James D. Quack

A wretch in every way.

Now little kids dance on his grave

And shout, "Oh yay, hooray!"

 

The next one reads:

 

Here lies what's left of Jonboy Jim,

As bright as death was dark.

Unfortunately, Jonboy Jim

Was killed by hungry sharks.

A risk taker in every way

He got the greatest plan:

"I'll swim where the biggest sharks go

"I'll prove myself a man!"

So though he was very honest

And liked to get around,

Of him, only three chewed fingers

Were ever, ever found.

 

End.
