Dear Terri,
I think the poem needs more. I don't think most people will think finding
a neighbour in the garden means finding a corpse. More likely they'd assume
a neighbour was peeping than eternally sleeping, as 'twere.
Was it a former neighbour she knew? if so, why not buried under her own
patio? or why was she digging up a neighbour's garden?
The anecdote still doesn't seem to have much logic to it for me.
Kind regards,
grasshopper
