'Epitaphs for rent' by William Schmit

• epitaphs for rent
  
  
  "My skinny ass
  is only a little behind
  the times."
  
  "Once more,
  with feeling,
  is twice my dream."
  
  "I'd drink to your health,
  but my heart
  leaks."
  
  "You go your way,
  as long as it's yours,
  and then ..."
  
  "Carve in stone
  the things to do
  today."
  
  "There's nothing stranger,
  than being kind
  to strangers."
  
  "If you can read this,
  I'm too far."
