I told my enemy,
Alexamenos, that if
I should out-live
him, I would dance on
his grave.
***
“Over my dead body you’ll dance!”
said Alexamenos.
***
“Exactly,” I responded.
***
And, lo! I out-lived him.
And I danced on his grave.
Dear reader you have never
seen such
graceful grave dancing.
***
But here is the strange part.
***
For when I had
finished dancing.
I swear to you —
I thought I heard
muted applause!
***
And that was
when something
occurred to me —
***
That in the end,
I may not have
liked him,
but the guy knew
what was good.

I liked it very much!
My friend, Camille Saint-Saëns, would like to know if you performed the “Danse macabre.” If not, then you committed a grave error.
As usual, i blame the diabolus in musica!
Hilarious! At least your enemy gave credit where it was due. :D
I once offered him an olive branch, but he only chased me around the room with it.
:D
Grave dancing…! Love it! Sounds like me! 🙂
I knew there had to be more out there some-where! Cheers, t
Haha! Good one.
Thanks, sadje
You’re welcome 😉
Tref—usually your posts are uplifting. I dunno, this one was so grave in tone.
But Pam there is dancing! Dancing! Dancing, Pam!
As Tref exclaimed his joy for dancing he suddenly realized he had one foot in the grave. Or was that six feet?
Mostly just a poppin’ n’ lockin’, Pam.
Your knees or is that a descriptive of your dance step?
I can’t dance. Two left feet . . . and, er, two right feet. Well done, tref.
Or, you have the regular left and right foot except the left is on the right, and vice versa.

Thank you, dbb2.
Excellent grave dancing. Love the photo too :)
My enemy was a plumber. When he died I did a tap dance on his grave.
I assume it was a clog dance. Thanks, vta.
Dance like somebody is watching.
… and recording it on their phone! Thanks, n
Beat that Fred Astair and Ginger!
Exactly my thought! Thanks, janny
I’m so glad he appreciated your efforts.
Me, too. The dead are usually such haters.
The sound of one hand clapping?
or, one skeleton hand, more specifically
Lovely
Thank you, Byung
