WRETCHED
REFUSE
“Are
you sure we have enough cement in there?”
“For
cryin’ out loud, I’ve been doin’ this for years.”
“Uncle
Frank will be furious if his package winds up back at Red Hook.”
“Would
you quit being a baby and hand me that rope?”
“Rope,
too?”
“Yeah,
the duck tape gets water logged. Nylon rope lasts forever. Help me hoist her overboard now.”
“Sheesh,
she’s heavy.”
“That’s

“Shouldn’t
we say a prayer or something?”
“I
hope you’re kidding. Oh no, don’t start crying. You hated your Aunt Rosa!”
“Yeah,
but she made the best damn meatballs.”

ReplyDeleteNothing like a burial at sea to bring a tear to the eye. They're certainly going to a lot of trouble to make sure Aunt Rosa stays "buried." Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
