Eulogy
Someday I'm gonna move on and I won't want an eulogy.
But an epitaph might be nice.
No Eulogy -- Epitaph
After a morning martini
in the Bonaventure cemetery,
Savannah, Georgia
near Johnny Mercer's gravesite
I saw an other guy's epitaph
Engraved on
the man's tombstone:
CONRAD AIKEN
COSMIC WANDERER
Those words certainly appeal
but damn all they've been taken
so I'll simply settle for
the plain, the more mundane
GERARD C. SMITH
1938-20??
He Came; He Went
He Did No Harm
