    Ok time to narrow down the final wording for my tombstone. the original version was:

    Michael Summers
    Took pics of trains.
    To get them took
    More Guts Than Brains

    Slight revision:

    Here layeth Michael
    He took pictures of trains
    To get them it seems
    Took More Guts Than Brains

    Alternate idea:

    Here lies Michael
    Beneath this plot
    He stood to close to the tracks
    To get the shot

    I'm leaning toward the revision, but also like the alternate. Thoughts? ; Any other suggestions?

    Michael Summers it seems
    Had more guts than brains,
    Got a little too close
    Taking pictures of trains.

    So when your wife is 8 months pregnant and tells you to go over and over and the doctor says its okay to go.. I shouldn't go??

    but this is for "work" :)

    If you want free
    Tim Horton's from Sean,
    Dig 6 feet down
    Right under this lawn.

    We loved Paul's especially, but I was trying to think of something more...photog-ish. ; :-[ ; (for me, that is)

    A slight mod:

    Here lies Tim
    He just bought the farm,
    The weight of his camera
    Did him the harm.

    Ok, I have no creativity in this department, and I'd like to get an epitaph for my wife.

    Here's some useful info, feel free to use any or all, and she won't take any offense.

    Name is Patsy, she's a middle school social studies/religion teacher, she can't move off of the green square when photographing, she only has one leg (for real, she wears a hi-tech computerized prosthetic leg), and we use a wheelchair for touring the parks. ; Have fun with ANY of that.

    We are doing the MNSSHP event, so it'd be nice to have some tombstones on our shirts.

    Thanks,

    Boris

    patsy lies six feet
    under this topper
    her legacy is teacher,
    photographer, park-hopper.

    Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about. ; Bordering on tasteless -- just my kind of humor.

    I came up with a bunch for myself and posted them on another thread. ; They may not be exactly what you want, but maybe they will give you some ideas. ; Feel free to change my name to yours and use any of them as-is:

    "Lytum & Hyde" Dennis thought was a joke
    Turns out it wasn't, so now he's just smoke

    The Mission Space ride was Dennis' downfall
    So now he's Soarin' high above us all

    Food & Wine was Dennis' downfall
    He now has wings and is Soarin' above all

    Dennis just loved to ride Mission Space
    But our Spaceship Earth is his resting place

    Dennis took photos at Disney all day
    Forgot about meals now here's where he lay

    Disney World beckoned, Dennis was packed
    Sadly that was his final act

    If you're having trouble coming up with rhymes, try RhymeZone.com.

    I've also found that Burma Shave jingles have a good meter. ; Maybe one of them can be adapted.

    Patsy lies here
    With one foot in the grave.
    Was shooting Splash Mountain,
    And got crushed by the wave.

    A take-off from Mary Poppins... ?

    Boris knew a woman with
    A wooden leg named Patsy.
    What was the name
    Of her other leg?

    Patsy the teacher
    Was a one-legged cyborg.
    Rolled over Mickey's foot,
    Ended up in the morgue.

    (he must have been in a bad mood that day)
