Epitaphs






> The Body of B. Franklin, Printer
Like the Cover of an old Book
Its Contents turned out
And Stript of its Lettering & Guilding
Lies here
Food for Worms
For, it will as he believed
appear once more
In a new and more elegant Edition
corrected and improved by the Author<
Benjamin Franklin
Christ Church Burial Grounds
Philalelphia, Pennsyvania
..................................
and the similar but less grand SR News editor's
to be chiseled:
> This is not the end. More later. <
(In an Email to a friend, today's date)
