Headstone Help...

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" :)

Sean just missed
The birth of his kid
He didn't mind
But Karen sure did.

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

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

LOL, I was wondering what you might come up with
 
here lies patsy
we called her teach
stumping world showcase
proved beyond reach


i know i'm getting gritty here, but it's a start
 
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

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