TOMBSTONE HUMOR
Here lies Lester Moore
Now there's no Les no more
The tombstone says their last line
Witty, funny and sometimes in rhyme
Rodney Dangerfield couldn't tell a falsehood
He said, "There goes the neighborhood"
Though he never had a festschriften
"I won't be right back," said Merv Griffin
"Filling my last cavity" on the dentist's stone
Tombstone humor can make you groan
"I told you I was sick" was his last word
So now he knows we finally heard
To laugh or not to laugh in a cemetary
Some say the decision is arbitrary
Graveside humor is nothing new
Even after death, there's no taming of the shrew
To all those who were yet unknown
Shakespeare said, "Cursed be he that moves my bones"
The deceased can have whatever they pick
Spike Milligan said: "I told you so" in Gaelic
Laugh or cry as you visit the departed
Leslie Nielsen's stone says he farted
To all those who just don't like the jokes
Mel Blanc's says' "That's all folks"
