sparky signal

Sparky arrived and bowed his head
In his hand a signal read
The captain told him to read aloud
Sparky started with head bowed
Your wife has died the signal said
How should they now treat the dead?
Should she be interned in the ground?
With a noble headstone found
Or was his wish to be cremation
With ashes scattered to the nation
Was it his want in memory?
To have his wife buried at sea

The captain stood with knowing glances
Do them all……….., take no chances
