It’s all talk in the valley of tombstones.

It’s all talk in the valley of tombstones.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

It was all talk
at tombstone alley.
Excuse me Sir! Yes you!
Can you please remove
these dead flowers
off my tombstone. Thanks.

Hey bro! Can you read
my memorandum on my tombstone
it’s been awhile! I can’t remember. Ta!

Hey mister! Can you come over here?
I need some help with my headstone,
I feel I’m leaning over. Thanks Mr.

Hi matey! Yes you laddie!
Can you please remove the lichen moss
off my headstone? It’s rather itchy thanks.

Hello there! Yes you!
What year is it man?
I’m new but seems like ages.

Hi there you fine gentleman!
Come over here please.
Do I still look good in grey?

Would someone please
remove these leaves off me!

Who said it was all
quiet at cemetery park,
not your average tombstone
gathering!

Hey you yes you!
I’ve saved a plot for you
right next to me.

Sepulchral humor at par with the Addams' Family. Hello from the other side, indeed.
