Apologies for posting two of my own poems on successive days, but this one is kinds topical:- Ian

If reincarnation is a fact
and we all must visit this earth again
with God or the Devil I'll make a pact,
but one condition I must make plain
I don't want to return as a TV star
a pop singer or Hollywood icon
I would not enjoy life as an athlete,
politician or business tycoon.
When I return to begin my new life
for me it will quite enough
if I can be just a humble flea
and live in Katie Melua's muff.
