Peas in a Pod

Something tells me that we all will wind up in a pod somewhere!

=================================
On a grave from the 1880s in
Nantucket,Massachusetts :
Under the sod and under the trees,
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.
He is not here, there's only the pod.
Pease shelled out and went to God.
=================================
Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York :
Born 1903--Died 1942.
Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the
car was on the way down. It was.
=================================
In a Thurmont, Maryland , cemetery:
Here lies an Atheist, all dressed up and no
place to go.
================================
On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in
East Dalhousie Cemetery , Nova Scotia :
Here lies Ezekial Aikle, Age 102. Only The
Good Die Young.
================================
In a London , England cemetery:
Here lies Ann Mann, Who lived an old maid,
but died an old Mann. Dec. 8, 1767
================================
In a Ribbesford, England , cemetery:
Anna Wallace
The children of Israel wanted bread, And
the Lord sent them manna.
Clark Wallace wanted a wife,
And the Devil sent him Anna.
================================
In a Ruidoso, New Mexico , cemetery:
Here lies Johnny Yeast...
Pardon me for not rising.
================================
In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania , cemetery:
Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake.
Stepped on the gas, instead of the brake.
================================
In a Silver City, Nevada cemetery:
Here lays The Kid.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.
================================
A lawyer's epitaph in England :
Sir John Strange.
Here lies an honest lawyer,
and that is Strange.
================================
I read most of these on my friend Matty's blog last August, but I got an e-mail with these in it today. Matty asked what we would write if we were to compose our own epitaph. So, I thought about it and said, "I plan on cremation and we bought crypts for the little boxes".
=================================
Here she lies
On a tight, little shelf
As usual
She made an ash of herself!
