Dead Certain

A senior couple were lying in bed one morning. Just as a new day was dawning Having had the most perfect nights sleep Long, restful, undisturbed and deep The old gentleman turned to his wife and asked “Would you like a cup of tea?” She lay perfectly still in the same position “NO! Of course I don’t want a cup of tea” Surprised by her vehemence he asked “Why not?” She answered, “Because I'm dead” “What are you talking about? Of course you’re not What put such a thought in your head?” “It’s no good you arguing with me about it I have no doubt at all. I am definitely dead, And that’s it and all about it, because I woke up this morning and nothing hurts” she said

Tell hubby to look out, for only the dead can talk to the dead. I enjoyed it.
