A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

Not six words, but still a neat epitaph popular in the late nineteenth  century:

"Stranger look as you pass by -
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, soon you shall be.
Prepare for death and follow me."

In at least one case, some wag scrawled beneath the epitaph:

"To follow you I'm not content -
Until I know which way you went."

"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

A few more real epitaphs -

Here lays the Kid
We planted him Raw
He was quick on the trigger
but slow on the draw
  (Boot Hill, Arizona)

Here lies Anne Mann
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.
    (Bristol, England)

JOHN PENNY
Stranger, if in cash
thou art in want of any;
here dig six feet deep
and thou wilt find a penny.
   (Liverpool, England)

ANNA WALLACE
The children of Israel wanted bread,
The Good Lord sent them manna.
Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife
and the Devil sent him Anna.   (OUCH!!)
   (Manchester, England)

and one of my favorites . . .

Under the sod and under the trees,
Here lies the body of Jonathan Pease.
But Pease's not here, here's only the pod.
Pease shelled out, and went to God.
   (Bristol, England)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
