*The curfew tolls the news*

The curfew tolls the news: departed Dave
The grieving mourners lower in the ground.
The parson prays that heav’n his soul will save
But leave his kin five hundred thousand pound.

The short final piece of doggerel in a series of ten #MockEpitaphs, appropriately inspired by #ThomasGray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.
