Re: Tombstones: Hilarity in the Grave
Here lies MacArthur,
Fled the archipelago,
Not as bad as Carcer,
But really screwed his men over.
(No, it didn't rhyme)
___
Here lies John Brown,
A bigger **** than Forrest,
But but they inspire just about the same frown,
Thank god they eternally rest.
___
Here sleeps Jesse,
Knew he'd never be eaten by Chessie,
Now if only he hadn't gone swimming,
When the fish were far from brimming.
(This requires explanation. Just pretend it says Nessie, not Chessie, and it'll make more sense)
v.2
Here stands a cenotaph, in memory of Jesse,
Could've sworn that he was friends with Chessie,
If only he hadn't decided to go swimming,
When the fish were far from brimming.
___
Here is buried The Dagger,
Only man to never stagger,
Now if only he had remembered,
To never get dismembered
Should've known not to commit treason,
Without very good reason.
(Hmmm.. I think it makes sense... do you?)
___
Last to die was Becky,
First was that old techy,
In the middle was he,
Stupid to fight Balverines with just three.
___
Dead too soon,
Fallen too hard,
Which is why, in a monsoon,
You don't work high above your yard,
___
Here lies the longwinded, the overexcited, the great Walker,
Shouldn't have made up so many rhymes, when he isn't much of a talker,
___
I hate rhymes and poetry, so I don't know why I did get so overexcited. You have my apologies for subjecting you to this. But one more:
___
Here lies James Ryder Randall,
Wrote dumbass poetry,
About "his" beloved state,
When he lived in Louisiana,
If only he hadn't been a Marylander,
Who's piece of **** was enshrined, in 1929
(Note: Maryland, My Maryland probably did not become the state song in 1929, but it was in the 1920s. I just wanted a rhyme of some sort.)
