Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.

In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery:
Anna Wallace
The children of Israel wanted bread
and the Lord sent them manna,
Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife,
and the Devil sent him Anna.

In the Barlinine Cemetery, Glasgow, Scotland
Here beneath this stone we lie
Back to back my wife and I
And when the angels trump shall trill
If she gets up then I'll lie still!

In a Waynesvill, N.C., cemetery
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.
(To which someone, who saw this, added)
To follow you
I am not content
How do I know
Which way you went
