Dead'n'buried

One day my dear wife turned and said

I just cant wait until you’re dead
And then I’ll dance upon your grave
 I told her she was awfully brave

Oh yes pray tell,why would that be?

My dear, when I die, I’ll be buried at sea

Definately not a limerick

Definately not a limerick Donnie, not sure what name you could put to it, perhaps someone out there could enlighten us both, it may not be technically correct but it reads well and it made my wife laugh which is always a good thing. Thanks for reading Regards John
