Gravestone of Peter Labellier, buried upside down, Box Hill, Surrey: Poliphilo/Wikimedia Commons

There was a gravedigger named Brown

Who buried a man upside down.

He said it’s appalling,

The deceased’s lifetime calling

Was playing an inverted clown.

    Better an inverted than introverted clown. (That's a tough gig, let me tell you.)
