Lady Die 63 Posted April 26, 2006 I used to look for typos in the "poems" in the "Deaths" column of my local rag. One I remember is: Ours is just a simple prayer May God keep you in his car Another one (not a typo, but funny anyway because it doesn't rhyme): If roses grow in heaven, Lord Pick a bunch for me Place them in my mother's arms And tell her they're from us Anyone know any more?

Banshees Scream 110 Posted April 26, 2006 This is something I saved for a while. I never added it to my official lyrics but it may deserve a chance? "The Sad Man" I can't look back to my past But the light to my future I can't find I've been standing still for a while But i'm falling behind Everybody has changed They are all strangers to me When did this all happen? How can this be? I have nowhere to go I should just start a new life My faimly refuses to speak with me I've just been divorced from my wife I haven't made any money In the morning I can't even get out of bed What's the point in living? Sometimes I wish I were dead Now I can only dream That I have it made These dreams still bring me to tears Through the years they never fade And each night I say my prayers That i'll make it through all the pain But now I can just stair out my window Stair out my window and watch the rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted April 26, 2006 Here's the epitaph for PDQ Bach (1807-1742): Here lies a man with sundry flaws And numerous Sins upon his head; We buried him today because As far as we can tell, he's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunjaman5000 32 Posted April 26, 2006 Here's the epitaph for PDQ Bach (1807-1742): Here lies a man with sundry flaws And numerous Sins upon his head; We buried him today because As far as we can tell, he's dead. Negative 65 years old eh? What killed him? In a great episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" I saw recently, 'Much loved Aunt' became 'Much loved C**t' due to a printing error. That's got to happen for real sooner or later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted April 26, 2006 There was that very funny scene from 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' (sitcom) where the newspaper put in "beloved C**t" instead of "beloved Aunt". It was, ofcourse, a typo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,235 Posted April 26, 2006 How odd, both Gunjaman and me saying the same thing at the same time. I should imagine he will commit suicide now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted April 26, 2006 I've got a book called "Tombstone Humour" by Richard De'Ath (apparently his real name) and that has a chapter devoted to comedy epitaphs etc. Worth a read if you can get hold of a copy - I got mine about 15 years ago so it might be out of print by now.

I used to have a similar book entitled "Grave Humour" by Fritz Spiegl. Here's the only one I remember, which is from a headstone in Aberdeen allegedly: Here lie the bones of Elizabeth Charlotte Born a virgin, died a harlot She was aye a virgin at seventeen A remarkable thing in Aberdeen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here’s a guy who’s family put a poem of sorts on his headstone but may run into trouble - seeing as the first letter of each line spells ‘Fuck Off’. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/headstone-profanity-upsets-community-polk-county-iowa_n_62ab7038e4b04a617359daa2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
