wi W . m H 7 E . s 3 H l l Page 149 t LA DIQHAYA all E pitaphs Shed a tear for Oscar Hein, He's seen no more by his kindg While walking down the road, He stepped on a banana rind. In that gray hearse is Melvin Seaman His sad story I'll relate He took a girl out riding And tried to be a he-man. Oh, wail for Tommy Mann His crime was of a most vile brand, He dated up Rosita And went out with Margarita. Here rests Henry Neff A direful fate was his. He went to Miss Mathison's class But hadn't worked his Phiz. Sing a dirge for Mary Ward, Her fate was bitter and most hard, She tried to drive her car Down a road that wasn't thar'. 'Neath that green mound lies Adelaide Her mistakes be sure to shun. She dined on cheese to take off weight, But in a week she weighed one ton. Pray long and loud for Daisy Kutz Her tale is sad but true. She went out flying with two nuts, Now her early death we rue. For Leon Fortassain chant a hymn. He was usually most slow, But he took a corner on one rim. Now he's gone where the bad folks go. Say a prayer for Sara Lou She was a kind and gentle child, But she made one grave mistake She called an Irishman a Jew. Ellis Crabb's is this black tomb. A fine bright boy was he, But in his brain as you'll agree There was room for English Four, But not for One and Three. Here sleeps Ethel Puster, Her face resembled that of Custer. She said she'd jump off Billy Goat Hill. And that it wouldn't bust'er. lk, Bunn
