reincarnation [poem] [in the style of Shel]

Added 2025-07-16 21:12:12 +0000 UTC

The day will come [as all days do] of my greatest defeat.
I'll scream or cry and say, "Goodbye - the end is bittersweet!"
and so I'll croak from a disease or, likely, heart attack
but when I'm done being this bum, some think I will come back...

Now Carl, Matt, and Little Joe are old buddies from school,
when they reincarnate, they wanna be something real cool!
Carl said a crocadile, and Matt would be a shark
Little Joey said a dinosaur [ppssh - life's not Jurassic Park]
but of all the cool things out there, what I think is really neat,
is if I can come back to this realm as a women's bicycle seat!

The view couldn't be nicer, so intimate and snug,
the all engulfing feeling of your thighs giving me a hug!
It's sort of like you're sitting my face, but even better!
Now I don't need to breathe and can't care less if you're a sweater.

Gaining weight or losing it, it's all a plus for me.
Go for greater distances or timed records to beat!
Maybe one day you'll say screw it and take a naked spin!
Or share me with your sister or your mother or cousin.

And if a guy hops on me, that's no reason to get furious,
The afterlife is pretty long, and I've become bike-curious.
So remember, next time that your thighs are sticking to the seat,
That cake's best served in seat-fulls, thanks [in advance] for the treat!
