A Salty Joke
Story time. a waste of your time.
I have a tale to tell
Blue and green
Foam and brine and shell
And at the coast
Sand and jellyfish
I heard the absolute most
Funniest joke I’d heard in years.
As I came across an old surfer
Asking for coins beside the pier
“See them dolphins there?” he said. I naturally searched the sealine
“Right in over there”?
I looked over and they were laughing and turning flips
Then he started to tell his joke which he said
was so funny it’d wake the dead.
“Take her to the sea
And then drown her
Then put her in the empty house.”
“ I saw it. the body I mean. As it just happened”
He stood there staring
Shaking his head at such a tragedy.
“What”?”
“Where was the joke?” I asked
The bum looked at me confused
“”What joke?”
I pursed my lips and shook my head
He’s lost some marbles or hasn’t been to bed
So I changed gears with him instead
“Well where is the house that she was put in?”
“They ever find out who killed her?”
He looked up surprised
“Oh no it just happened. Well, yes I know the house”
“It’s down a bit”
“Let’s go, i said, someone should call it in”
We walked the coast line a good hour and a half
I couldn’t believe I had even kept going
The sunset was beautiful but now the tide was coming in
And the wind was blowing
I said “how much further” he said “just right here”
“Finally”
Inside he stopped and showed me “there’s the place” pointing to a place on the floor, but no body nothing without a trace.
“Well where is it? Thought it just happened?”
“It did!”
“Well you sure she was dead?!”
“You left a woman to die, you weren’t sure she was deceased?”
“No, no she was dead as a doornail.”
“Her heartbeat ceased”
Then he got quiet
“Oh this has happened before
I do apologize”.
“For you not being able to see the dead girl “
I grimaced and I surmised
I wish you had not of said that out loud “I’ll be fine but why the lies”?
“No lie she was right here when I was practicing my joke”
“An hour just for that?!”
I’ll stop here dear reader
I apologize that to read you chose
My story is now at its anticlimactic close
The End.
