More Tally Tea

Our morticians are thanking their god For a year where they all earned a wad Though some were burnt Many more weren't Still, their best work lies under the sod!

Unfortunately, morticians' best work always "lies under the sod." Indeed, they must have had a lucrative year. Glad to see the virus appears to be winding down. Hugs, Carolyn

There are no "oscars", "emmys" nor "tonys" for mortician excellence . . .. .

Hello Rico … did you know that in a small mountain community where old age is common, they shot a bloke to start a cemetery - thanks again Rico - Lindsay

Bad planning as no one likes to maintain a cemetery, most especially taxpayers! Aloha! Rico
