It wasn't the cough that carried him off; 'twas the coffin they carried him off in! Or something like that. You're right. I got it once I pronounced the line!

Comment from Mark D. R.
At first read, I could not determine why this one-liner was written as is. So glad I read the note. Otherwise, I would not get your out loud intent. Very funny! It is silly!
Best of luck in the contest.

Yeah... I know it is silly. It was all I had in my head before the contest deadline rocked up. Thank you for reading it out loud, Mark. ~DD :-)
Comment from lyenochka
Coughing? Because it sounds like Coffin? It's funny but it's also sad. It makes me think of all the professionals who can't handle their own like the hairstylist too busy to do her own hair or the house cleaner, too tired to clean her own house. Now I'm thinking of that poor undertaker. Sigh.

Sorry to sadden you, Helen. It was not my intention. I suppose my short piece had more effect than being slightly amusing. I will take that as a positive but please don't be sad or I will be. ~DDxx

No worries, DD! It IS clever and interesting. But then my mind wandered off to other people like undertakers, the unappreciated people who have no time for themselves. I'm fine. I'll head to bed. Have a lovely day/weekend!

Sweet dreams Helen. xx

Hi DD. This is a super play on words, "coughing" (coffin). Very clever. You put on your thinking cap to write this one. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn
