Here lieth the body of
My lovely dear wife Anne
Who plays the Poker Machines
whenever she can.
&
James Thomas Hewitt
Died 15th July 1988
Here lie the bones
They call him uncle jim
He sits here and drinks
While she puts his money in.
(From adjacent graves in Helensburg Cemetery, NSW)
Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me for not rising.
(Ruidiso Cemetery, New Mexico)
Here lies the body of old Jack Clarke
A man with a heart of gold
His money he couldn't take with him,
of this he often told.
But now that jack is gone I suppose it's time to tell
he left no relation
So instead of leaving it to the Government boys ,
he left it to the Cancer Foundation.
(Nowra Cemetery- Jack was a local identity who left a small fortune without declaring an heir)
