Well Bert, we saw a cemetery in the Adirondacks recently with a sign prohibiting the leaving of plastic flowers (I don't think it was for aesthetic reasons, I guess they strangle lawnmowers...).Steve Goodman was a great writer of joke songs, especially when he got together with John Prine. Remember "Turnpike Tom", "Death of a Salesman" and others too dreadful to name.
