SAFETY-LAST EPITAPHS
Resting here lies Cyclist Blake"; He heard a “honk,” but had no brake. i At 90 miles drove Eddie Shawn; The motor stopped, but “Ed.” kept on. Here be sleeps, one Johnny Foilker; He rounded a corner without a honker. Poor Volley Starr is dead and gone; The ear he hit bad bumper on. And here’s'what’s left of Samuel Smp.ll; Who paid no attention to “slow” signs at all. Beneath this stone sleeps William Raines; lee on the lull; he had no chains.
