here lies a couple named Kelley
found stuck belly to belly
Because of their haste,

instead of petroleum jelly

Ok, you can all boo now :-)

Heh, I heard the version where it was "back to belly" rather than "belly to belly"

I don't remember where I heard that but it's always stuck with me.

"Being with her was like pressing your eye to a particularly vivid kaleidoscope. She was all primary colour." I think that would make a pretty epitaph.

Remember, Man, as you walk by
as you are now, so once was I.

As I am now, so you must be.
Prepare for death and follow me.

SAMUEL ALLEY,

An African, and native of St. Helena,
Died 28th May 1822, aged 18 years,
Born a slave, and exposed
In early life to the corrupt influence
Of that unhappy state, he became
A model of Truth and Probity, for
The more fortunate of any country
Or condition.
This stone is erected by a grateful
Master to the memory of a faithful Servant,
who repaid the boon of
Liberty with unbounded attachment.
