Into the depths of reincarnation.

Oh! Yes! Reincarnation!

Been there done that!

You know I was really

getting use to the idea

of being dead -

the solitude

the quietness of it all

and then all of a sudden

Bang! I was born again.

Yep! To endure another lifetime.

I enjoyed the peace of mind

death brings like a long sleep.

Yep! I was just getting

so comfortable with the idea

of death when... Bang!

I came out crying again

into the same old world

to live another lifetime,

more lessons to be learned

before my death finally.

So what do I think of reincarnation?

Well, it was alright at first,

but then became a tedious bore.

Last time I was a tortoise,

lived over a hundred years -

it was too long! I tell you.

Do you know how many

talking tortoises are out there?

Just one! Me!

I talked myself to death

I did for one hundred and twenty years.

This time, if I'm lucky

I might come back as a butterfly

they only live for two weeks,

and I do like lettuce and nectar.

Then its off again for 

another eternal sleep.

How nice until I come back.

Then I have to go through

the whole routine-

who am I

what am I doing here

where did I come from,

and all that kind of thing.

Really, you would think

I would know by now. 

Maybe, I'll come back

with room and a view -

a giraffe would do.

But who knows

what I'll be...

a dog, a monkey, or

a girl something different.

Anyway, back again

just had a quick death.

Oh that's just great!

I'm a cat again, nine lives,

but no I got run over last time,

so it must be six or seven lives now.

Another lifetime of

tin cat food and fur balls

'till death do we part.

The trick is to come back as some rich woman's cat. Not a bad gig, hairballs and all.
