here lies the bones of a
copyist
on his tomb engraved the
plagiarist
of this trade he made quite a
fist
being the consummate repeat
recidivist

a fellow who stole other's
verse
his thievery of a terrible
curse
no contrition didst he
imburse
for taking from their word
purse

of pirating and pilfering
this memorial stone
openly declares
a plundering mortal
unapologetic of his
so called wares
