So I'm trying to preserve some of the glorious Sierra Forum data. Among this is the King's Quest 7 Tombstone Lymericks which I adore. I'll post them all here:

A werewolf named Thaddeus Scabies
tried to steal a poor farmer's three babies.
As he crept through the house
he was nibbed by a mouse
who was mad, and the wolf died of rabies.

Marjorie, fragile and pale,
always wore a voluminous veil.
When her yards of black crape
caught the wind like a cape
Poor Marjie blew off in the gale.

A monk known as Brother Bob Tweet
Gave up eating all grains and all meat
He next gave up fruit
and veggies to boot
And he died a mere beanstalk with feet.

A paranoid fellow named Ed
thought monsters lived under his bed.
As he quailed in the dark
his dog gave a loud bark
and Ed leaped from the window in dread.

The jumpy dame Celia Natz
had a terrible fear of black cats
She saw one in the night
jumped 10 feet in fright
and was carried away by large bats.

The debonaire Archduke of Drake
was always a bit of a rake.
He chased a maid through the grass
but when he caught the lass
she dropkicked him into the lake.

Count Cranky, a nasty old goat,
slipped and got himself drowned in the moat.
His family cheered,
his squire disappeared
and even his dog seemed to gloat.

A mystic called Musefar White
Had a bed made of nails sharp and bright.
He was taking a nap
when into his lap
Jumped an elephant. Yech! What a sight!

The mad lady Madeline Fair
grew convinced that she was a spring hare
On hands and on knees
She bounced through the trees
'Till the day she ran into a bear

Here's the body of Benjamin Crabby
who in life was incredibly grabby
Don't stand on his grave
For his corpse can't behave
Old Benjie might come up and nab ye.

The daredevil Morrigan Weg
Smoked his pipe on a gunpowder keg
They found his head on a bridge,
his arm near the ridge,
but no-one could find his left leg.

Here lies Marigold Gossum
who grew a carnivorous blossom.
She fell into the weed
And it ate her with greed
one day when she tripped on a possum .

Here lies the corpse of Fats Woad
He ate till he bulged like a toad One day he bought twenty
pies for a penny
the 20th made him explode.

The sorrowful Marjorie Pratt liked to wail on the cliffs with her cat
One night - such a pity-
She tripped on her kitty
And fell off the cliff with a splat.

The strange author Phinneas Smite
Liked to lurk in the shadows at night
He'd write hideous tales
Of green monsters with scales
And one day he just died of fright.

Und jetzt auf Deutsch:

Hier ruht die Leiche von Fritz Tröte
der aß, bis fett er wie 'ne Kröte.
Einmal kauft er zwanzig
Brote, die war'n ranzig,
Beim letzten geriet er in Nöte.

Die traurige Maria Platze
auf Klippen turnt jammernd mit Katze
Einer Nacht - wer erriet's
trat sie auf die Miez
ztörzt runter dort wo sie zerplatzte.

Der wirrköpfige Autor Hans Hachte
der liebte die Schatten der Nachte.
Schrieb grausige Fabeln
von Monstern mit Gabeln
Die Furcht ihm den Tod dann wohl brachte.

Marie, die Schlanke und Blase
trug Scheies von schwärzesten Klasse
Für den Wind kein Ballast,
Mit 'nem Stoß sie faßt
trug Marie mit sich fort aus der Gase.
Ein Werwolf hieß Tobias Gehlen
drei Babies versuchte zu stehlen.
Er schlich durch das Haus
da biß ihn 'ne Maus,
die Tollwut tat ihn dann entseelen.

Verrückt war der Karl-Edgar Glonster
denkt unter dem Bett liegt ein Monster
Als er schlich durch die Nacht
hat sein Hund laut gelacht
Vor Schreck fiel er glatt aus dem Fenstern.

Der frühliche Erzherzog Dresen
ein Lehemann ist er gewesen
Jagt ein Mädel durch's Grass
Alls er packt ihre Nas',
in den See warf ihn dieses Wesen.

Nervös war Frau Celia Natzen
Furcht hatte sie für schwarze Katzen
Sah eine in der Nacht
Sprang hoch mit aller Macht
dort schleppen sie fort Flederratzen.

Hier ruht die Leiche von Benny Papscher
im Leben war er ein größlich Grabscher
Steh nicht auf seiner Gruft
denn dieser alte Schuft
sonst holt dich in furchstkalte Grab er.

Hier ruht Frau Mariengold Glanze
die hatt'ne fleischfressende Pflanze.
Als ihr Fuß trat ins Gras
diese gierig ihn fraß
als wär sie 'ne häßliche Wanze.

Graf Griesgram, der haßliche Alte
rutscht aus, in den Graben er knallte
die Familie frohlockt
weil so viel er verbockt
das Freuengeschrei weithin hallte.

Verrückt war die Lady Ruth Base
sie glaubte sie sei ein Schneehase.
Denn auf Händen und Knien
ja so hüpft' sie dahin
bis ein Bär ihr begegnet im Grase.

Der Draufgänger Adrian Blasse
hat geraucht auf 'nem Pulverfasse.
Der Kopf fliegt zur Brücke,
am Dach hängen Stücke,
nie fand man den Rest seiner Masse.

Der Mystiker Abraham Dall
ein Nagelbett hat aus Metall
als friedlich er schlief
da ging etwas schief,
Ein Elefant auf ihm fiel, Knall

Ein Mönch, Bruder Bob, er laßt Grüßen
Der wollt' sich das Leben versüßen
Wollt' einfach nur Träumen
das Essen versäumen
so starb er als Stange mit Füßen.

Nice! Such unlucky folks though. My favourites are:

The mad lady Madeline Fair
grew convinced that she was a spring hare
On hands and on knees
She bounced through the trees
'Till the day she ran into a bear

AND

Here's the body of Benjamin Crabby
who in life was incredibly grabby
Don't stand on his grave
For his corpse can't behave
Old Benjie might come up and nab ye.

The bottom one is actually a clue. If you step on the grave of Benjamin Crabby, he'll actually reach out and grab you, killing you.
It's illustrated here, at 3:40:

"That guy is bad news!"

Oh he is! He scares the crap out of me! You see, he can come out the ground any time, and that's really nervewrecking. Not to mention the fact that your protagonist (either one of them, KQ7 has two) walks veeeery slowly, so getting off-screen when he pops up is pretty hard.

I can imagine. And he can jump so high! And your protagonist seems so very naive.

Yeah, she's a little eightteen-year old girl... she's been kidnapped and changed into a troll, but at the point where you're in Ooga Booga land you're already turned back into a lady. The other protagonist is her mother, who is also very annoying at times.
