More of a self-referential plaque than a recursive plaque. If you want an explanation, go to comment 5 for further instructions. If you are satisfied, stop reading now.

A self-referential short story

This is the first sentence of this story. This is the second sentence. This is the title of this story, which is also found several times in the story itself. This sentence is questioning the intrinsic value of the first two sentences. This sentence is to inform you, in case you haven’t already realized it, that this is a self-referential story, that is, a story containing sentences that refer to their own structure and function. This is a sentence that provides an ending to the first paragraph.

And so on…(you get the idea).

In the village of Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds in England there is an excellent 9th scale replica model village of Bourton-on-the-Water, which contains a model village of the model village, which itself contains a model of the model.

Yeah, I was expecting that this plaque honored a previous plaque at that location.
Maybe in the future…
