Epitaph for Elliot

Elliot wasn't especially bright
While cooking snapper soup one night
He leaned a little too close to the fire
When suddenly he began to perspire
And noticed his apron was ablaze
But remaining calm, he turned his gaze
And grabbed the closest liquid handy
Which happened to be a pint of brandy.
