I suspect
salad dressing
harkens back to
a more
modest time in
our society

“TA-DA!”
***
I am often asked,
what would happen if I were to die before finishing my life’s work at trefology?
***
Well, …
firstly,
dear Readers,
do not fear
my passing.
***
When my day
comes I will
embrace the
unknown
with open arms.
***
Why?
Because I have a back-up plan!
***
Now, I have not, yet, fully
fleshed out this plan,
but, here is my pledge to you:
***
I will, one day,
return to earth,
to complete my
work at trefology
***
How? Again, I don’t, yet, know.
***
But that is why,
when I die,
I have requested
to be buried
in …
***
a straight jacket,
blind-folded,
wrapped in chains,
and with
the lid of the coffin
nailed air-tight.
***
That way, on the chance that I am successful,
***
it will be a double good trick.

It always seems to me that the hardest part of such a return engagement is deciding how long to be absent for. Too short and folk will say, ‘Oh, you were gone, were you?’.
Too long and it’ll be ‘Tref who?’.
Good luck comrade. Send me a postcard.

OK, but I’m going to send you half a postcard first, and then, when the job is done, you’ll get the other half of the postcard.

Magical. Just magical. By the way, the white wine in my refrigerator blushed because it saw the salad dressing.

An undressed salad is quite shocking, indeed!
A similar technique was used on Rasputin. Although he was then put in a sack and thrown into a river.

Ode to Trefology
In praise of the modest days of salad dressing,
when lettuce prays wrapped in romaine robes,
the cabbage patch dolls up in scarecrow clothes,
and no rabbit plucks a carrot without gloves.

The Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo was all for salad dressing, but I heard he was also a bit fruity.
As for a great Trefology return act… the key is hidden in the trombone in the orchestra pit (don’t tell anyone!)

I was actually thinking a distraught mourner, “over-come with grief”, could kiss the lips of my corpse, secretly slipping me the hand-cuff key. Or maybe they could slip me a piece of paper with the secret of how to survive death. which-ever, will be most appreciated.
