Gentle visitors, today is the Feast of All Souls, marked, in some cultures as the Day of the Dead. Perhaps as a result, it is also "Plan Your Own Epitaph Day". In honor of this day, your humble Contributor has undertaken the following first draft.
Here lie the remains of the man Remainder:
Pray the Divine Judge not render attainder.
For, while he was sinful and vain here on earth,
Yet, by his odd count'nance gave others great mirth.
Thus, may he be judged with tender attention;
Of his folly and faults, let none make mention.
