Here at rest lies Michael Cantor,
Once a raver, once a ranter.
Let the silence of this ground
Keep him far from sight and sound.

Though Roger Slater
Won't come by later
To visit his plot,
He's not forgot.

Mike Todd
Has gone to God.
Mike is not amused
At being refused.

Here lie the bones of Orwin Acra,
Whose store of phosphate has been agri-
Culturally added to the weight
That Bryant said shared every fate.

I tried to write an epitaph
so witty it would sizzle,
but all that I could manage was
this lame rhyme you see fizzle.
Pity me, but pity most
the man who held the chisel.

Default Could you, would you in a box?

R.S. Gwynn, whose verses scanned,
brought out the Seuss in all of us.
We always liked you, Sam-I-Am,
We'll always miss you, Sam-I-Was.

Default Here lies ?

Roger Slater, your pseudonym
caused confusion, it is true:
Bob or Roger? Which is him?
Whatever. We miss both of you.
