He Lived.
He Bred.
He Died.

On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. (W. C. Fields)

how about an epitaph styled limerick?

here lies a couple named Kelley
found stuck belly to belly
Because of their haste,
they got into paste,
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"

Here lies our dear sweet Sonny
Knows now not to play

His vices were as numerous as his virtues and infinitely more picturesque.

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.

What a really strange thread. No epitaph, I plan to be cremated. [;)]

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.

A marvellous thing for this vicinity. '

Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea . . .

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.

A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.

Quite the distance to go to prove one was right, LOL. M

"Home is the hunter, home from the hill
And the sailor is home from the sea"

's from a poem which I can't remember, but is on a gravestone in our local cementary.
