    or consider

    Effie Jean Robinson

    1897-1922

    Come blooming youths, as you pass by ,

    And on these lines do cast an eye.

    As you are now, so once was I;

    As I am now, so must you be;

    Prepare for death and follow me.

    Which is not funny at all. But underneath, someone had added:

    To follow you

    I am not content,

    How do I know

    Which way you went.
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

      What a heartwarming story of vandalism.
      The pope is a tard.

          What about the Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep poem?

          Do not stand at my grave and weep;
          I am not there. I do not sleep.
          I am a thousand winds that blow.
          I am the diamond glints on snow.
          I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
          I am the gentle autumn rain.
          When you awaken in the morning's hush
          I am the swift uplifting rush
          Of quiet birds in circled flight.
          I am the soft stars that shine at night.
          Do not stand at my grave and cry;
          I am not there. I did not die.

            The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
            Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon,
            Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face
            Lighting a little Hour or two—is gone.

              I came.
              I saw.
              I conked out.

              Many thanks to Carry on Cleo for that one!

                Some sigh for the Glories of This World
                Some Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come;

                Ah, take the Cash, and let the Promise go,
                Nor heed the music of a distant Drum!

                There was the Door to which I found no Key:
                There was the Veil through which I could not see:

                Some little talk awhile of ME and THEE
                There was--and then no more of THEE and ME.

                    Maybe the synonyms for being dead from the Monty Python parrot sketch would work.
