Watery Grave

There once was a fellow called Dwight,
Who thought a water bed was right,
But his house caught on fire,
And the outcome was dire,
When he was poached to death that night. *

For Natalie's Fun Death contest

* Based on an old joke, like the man who tried to hang himself with a piece of elastic and bashed his brains out on the ceiling, LOL

Hey, Jack, I sleep on a waterbed. Maybe I'll join Dwight in the "poached" entrees at the dinner buffet. LOL Excellent entry for Natalie's contest. I'm going to enter a single limerick too. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Oh, how sardonically humorous. I don't laugh very often, but this definitely got a guffaw out of me. Good job!
