In Memoriam

Egbert Yarnspinner

They finally found the exit.

Borna damp day in 1908, probably
Died1934, rather abruptly
Causewas politely escorted off the mortal coil for repeated curfew violations
Survived byA bowling league that will need a new captain

In a turn of events nobody saw coming, least of all them, Egbert Yarnspinner, aged 26. Their idea of punctuality meant arriving exactly as things were ending. They are survived by a rivalry with a neighbor over hedge height.
