I recently discovered this *memento mori* tradition called "calaveritas literarias", little irreverent poems for the Mexican Day of the Dead that can feature caricatures of famous people. I figured the fine folks who originated this tradition might approve.

With colored bricks,
and imaginary cement,
He built his wall,
in his millionaire's backyard.)
