Puzzling Over Past Lives & Reincarnation comic poem 512 by Angela Lansbury

 If I had a past life

I must have done something good

To reincarnate as me

So now I'm acting as I should


I want to be quite sure

I won't come back as a frog

Not even as a dog

Or worse still as a log


Do we really have free will?

Do I know my choice is free?

If I come back as them

Will they come back as me?



I'm sure that my dog loves me

What would he like to be?

Maybe I'll come back as him

Swap. He'll come back as me.

A Family Of Beaming Birthday Boys And Grinning Girls comic poem number 471 by Angela Lansbury

Birthday cards. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.


  The day you're born, it must truly be said

Mothers spend sleeping, or screaming, in bed

When you reach one, you don't know what it means

But when you're ten, you've got big group gift schemes


When you are twenty, you party plenty

But when thirty, you wish you were twenty

When you're forty, you wish you were thirty

Settled, or make up time being noughty


When you're forty, you wish you were thirty

When asked your age, you lie, or get shirty

When you're fifty, you wish you were forty

You feel old, even if you're still nifty


When you are sixty, it's time to retire

Wages are dwindling, ages grow higher

When you're severnty, you envy sixties

Youngsters are giants, friends are deaf pixies


When you're near eighty, tired, ready to drop

When somebody's thirty, you ask, care to swap?.

All the lines have ten syllables.

I saved a syllable several ties by changing you are to you're.   I saved a syllable by changing nearing to near. I saved a syllable by changing soebody to someone.
