Epitaph of Meldew Lee

Here lies the remains of Meldew Lee A pillar of the community. Strove always to better his life Had a loving family and a wife, One night he went drinking around the town Then headed for home trousers half down. He came upon a young man in a doorway Which prompted Meldew to say; Here is a pound coin for a cuppa tea And then on the homeless man he did pee. The young man was too shocked to moan And Meldew laughed as he turned for home. But on that fateful night he missed a turning He did not see the warning. Tripped over a pipe and fell into a sewer And drowned in a pool of urine and manure.
