(a bit tongue in cheek)

I've been thinking about such things
I've been around a while
So you can assume
I've dated a few times
A Shirley MacLaine type
An Astrologer
Even a Buddhist
Amidst all those
Christians
And occasional Jews

We Christians
Don't discuss religion
Or belief much
Assuming we know
And pretty much agree

So - I'm old enough now
What is left I know
Won't be as long as the decades
Already past
My thinking is now going this way

I decided I want to be
Reincarnated
Sounds like a better heaven
Than clouds, wings and pearly gates
Definitely better than Dante's hell
Reincarnated as Peter Pan
I'll never grow up
Hopefully there
Is a sexy Never-never land

Then I thought of
The Scorpios, Libras
Virgos and Pisces
I've danced the dance with
And it makes sense to me
I should find a Wendy
Whose Scorpio house rules
But not all the time
What the heck
I want someone
In the next life
To talk with
Someone horny
Just most of the time

So I'm setting up
Interviews
If you're planning
Reincarnation
And you've some
Scorpio in your sign
Let me know if you're interested



Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

Nice to see someone thinking about things, even tongue in cheek.     I'm a Sagittarius, but this sounds interesting to me.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Let me simply say - we Geminis are too smart to believe in Astrology
Thank you

LOL!!! i love this! VERY well done, Bill! .... my sister's buddhist... i told her, "go ahead and come back if you want, not me!"... i figure i'm going to have this written on my tombstone, "I told them I was sick! And I'm NOT coming back! So there!"... and then underneat that, in smaller letters because nobody will notice it anyway.. lol... i'll have them write... "She tried, but she died. Oh well." .... geesh, a little sardonic today, aren't i?

anyway, all this to say i really enjoyed this poem, bill... it was quite creative and put a smile on my face on an otherwise sorta dismal morning... thank you!

Doreen-

and then there's the words supposedly on WC Fields stone: "Better here than Philadelphia"

Martie-
when I'm not cynical - reincarnation makes sense - read sometime "Archy & Mehetibel" ~S~
Thanks (it's a fun read)
