Here I lie at the Chancel door;
Here lie I because I am poor;
The farther in the more you pay;
Here I lie as warm as they
Where I am going
Washing ain’t done or cooking or sewing:
Don’t mourn for me now
Or weep for me never:
For I go to do nothing
Forever and ever!

After reading "The Spoon River Anthology" this is what I would want my headstone to say.
