It's called "Reincarnation" by Wallace McRae.

What is reincarnation? A cowboy asked his friend.
It starts, his old pal told him, when your life comes to an end.
They wash your neck and comb your hair and clean your fingernails,
And put you in a padded box away from life's travails.

The box and you goes in a hole that's been dug in the ground.
Reincarnation starts in when you're planted 'neath that mound.
Them clods melt down, just like the box, and you who is inside.
And that's when you begin your transformation ride.

And in a while the grass will grow upon your rendered mound,
Until some day, upon that spot, a lonely flower is found.
And then a horse may wander by and graze upon that flower
That once was you, and now has become your vegetated bower.

Now, the flower that the horse done eat, along with his other feed,
Makes bone and fat and muscle essential to the steed.
But there's a part that he can't use and so it passes through.
And there it lies upon the ground, this thing that once was you.

And if perchance, I should pass by and see this on the ground,
I'll stop awhile and ponder at this object that I've found.
I'll think about Reincarnation and life and death and such,
And come away concludin', why, you ain't changed all that much.

Then there was the old cowboy who wanted his skin tanned and turned into a side-saddle after he was dead so that what he loved the most would be on top of him all the time....

Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation...
the other eight are unimportant.

I just took the test and got:

"Your next life shall be as a giraffe.

Almost 30% of people will be reincarnated as a higher form of life than you.

You're not perfect, but you've led a better life than most. With a few changes now, your next life could be even better."

I'm going to be a bear apparently! It didn't say what type though, personally I'm looking for Polar bear, after all its a top predetor and the chances of being killed by hunmters much lower!

Crystal, just one thing....location, location, location **grin**

Dare I suggest a Giant Panda Bear in the next Life? If it looks like your in a spot of endangerment then some kind folks will whisk you off to a secure enviroment and feed you Bamboo and fly in potential Girl/Boy partners.
Folks will oo and aah over your beauty, forgeting that you are a Bear and seeing you as more of a big cuddly toy:)

Besides at the rate of Global warming it would appear that the Poles are melting...this ain't a good thing for Polar Bears.

I am stuck with being a Tiger ITNL I suppose so as Mooman says..Grrrrrrr...(unless I find out what changes I am required to make in order to earn a Horse reincarnation vacation!)

Apparently, a panda is. I wonder what the top 7% is/are? I must try to answer all the questions "correctly" and see. Anyone try this yet?

What's higher than a giraffe?

Yes, that thought occurred to me too. I must admit I rather like the idea of a giraffe - being only 5ft 1 and short-sighted in this life. I'd have a whole new perspective, wouldn't I!

A cowboy. There are -56% higher than that.

A lion - and apparently the only one. I think it was the $2 question that determined my fate.

But the questions are ridiculous...or at least the answer choices. Most didn't apply.

Now you've done it Quarco!,**Big Grin**,

I was thinking there I would be roaming wild and free,
Now I am thinking what I will I do when I'm in a Zoo.

That does it, I am going back and finding another afterlife :)

hey! interestingly no body is coming back as a vegetable.

hmmmmm! or is because vegetable is consumed by everybody or the compilers of this reincarnation station are vegetable eaters.

I want to know why a shark is considered to be a higher form of life, with only 5% above it.

Subject: RE: BS: The Reincarnation Station

Date: 24 Mar 06 - 08:14 AM

Perhaps it is because the shark is such a simple creature?

I'm coming back as a horse.

Do I get to choose what kind of horse?

I don't want to be a racehorse but I think I would like to be an RCMP horse that patrols the parks. Actually, there are quite a few opportunities for horses. On second thought, I want to be a member of the last herd of wild horses in B.C.

My first choice would be to become an Appaloosa.

Horse? A lot of people seem to like the horse. Of course, if I tried that, I'd probably come back as an ass.
