    Thanks, Jean, and I had Danforth in mind as I wrote this. I wonder if Danforth has a morgue? Being a mental institution, it would certainly have to, right? Oh boy, how would you like to be a fly on the wall in that place, LOL?

    Thanks so much again! :}

I enjoyed this amusing tale from the crypt. You made me laugh at the poor doctors demise. The first stanza conjured up the Monster Mash, just you should know. Clever presentation. A pleasing read indeed...

This is a really entertaining ditty in your usual ghoulish vein. I loved the simplicity of this theme as a mortician is driven batty by some fun loving cadavers. The verse flows smoother than embalming oil and the whole scene is cackle worthy. The title is precious and deserves to win all by itself. Excellent work, dean.

Dean;
I enjoyed reading your poem written in anapestic tetrameter that make your rhythm flow so smoothly throughout your writing. Also, throughout your writing, your requirements are met perfectly. Even your rhyming, which was neither forced nor labored, helped with the rhythmic flow.
Your imagery was exclusively descriptive and remarkably expressive in this writing: "Soon after the corpses were back under their seats; the dark flew right out of the door and into the streets." And no wonder the police picked him up for probably his explanation was totally crazy.
Thanks for writing and sharing dancing good luck in the contest for this is an excellent writing an entry.
Alex
