Roderick and David ran a smallish undertakers business. They barely made enough to live on. As Roderick joked, “The new doctor in town is not good for business.”
Then the coronavirus arrived. People were dying all over the place. Business was booming.
“At last we will be able to live it up a little,” said David lyrically. “A better quality wine! Cheeses! The finest cuts of meat! Homemade carrot cake all over the place!” Roderick and David were excellent cooks.
Sadly they both caught the virus and died.
Yeah, that’s the way it goes when it goes that way.
