REINCARNATION

Michael Edwards

 

 

REINCARNATION

 

Reincarnation is not for me

the whole idea seems silly

I can’t accept the concept now

and I won’t in the future I avow

and in the past  I never did

not even when I was a squid.

    Oh lol good write and pic Michael. Did we meet? I was a fellow squid too. But seriously, reincarnation is bunkum to me! Bah humbug!

    • Michael Edwards

      I didn't order ink from Miss Berles when I was a squid.
      Did you?

      • orchidee

        Nope, I ordered it from a Mr Barney Calls.

        • Michael Edwards

          Does he work with Mr C Shore?

          • orchidee

            Yep. And Miss Octa (Octavia) Puss. She might have some ink too.

            • Michael Edwards

              She should be able to get some - Ann Chovy might be able to help

              You just wait, I will be back.

              • Michael Edwards

                Do goldfinches come back as humans?

                • Goldfinch60

                  I am coming back as a buzzard, just look up.

                    Ah I see you - uurgh - anyone got a handkerchief?

                    I swear the taller house has a Formica roof.
                    An old friend passing in the street suddenly threw a five legged octopus at me saying 'here's that sick squid i owe you'.
                    Did you now that there are more believers in reincarnation upon planet earth than those who believe in a christian 'heaven'. In fact until 11th century (or was it 9th) reincarnation was a part of christian belief.
                    I know your piece is a tease but as a believer in the big 'R' I felt the need to pontificate a bit.
                    A good fun write which reminded me of a statement made by a certain Mr Tony Blair 'I dont like predictions, I don't make them, and I never will".

                      Lol

                      Three men decided to commit suicide. As they jumped off the cliff they had to say what they wanted to be. The first man jumped and said eagle, the second man jumped and said lion, the third man slipped and said shit.

                      • dusk arising

                        How many thousands of miles would you fly to spend a couple of hours in a city which had a noteably tall cathederal spire?

                        • Michael Edwards

                          Oh I'd go anywhere but only if it has a clock - how else would I know it's time to go home?
                          And as long as I had some smelling salts - preferably in a perfume bottle!

                        • onepauly

                          I agree.
                          and did you know a squid will eat anything? even rocks.

                          • Michael Edwards

                            Do they sprinle them with rock salt?
                            And their tentacles can regenerate - wish mine could - lol.
