Malcolm Lowry
Late of the Bowery
His prose was flowery
And often glowery
He lived, nightly, and drank, daily,
And died playing the ukelele.


Epitaph he had written for himself but his wife refused to use on his tombstone. As reported in: Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (OUP Oxford, 2008), p. 112
