Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

What In Tarnation

What in tarnation is reincarnation
Could we come back as a piece of toast?
Or do you think that death is just that
The end, it's over, adios?

Some get passionate about the subject
But nobody knows for certain
When we finally take our very last breath
Is it really the final curtain?

Here's my humble opinion on the subject
It's over when the fat lady sings
But I'm open to new ideas on the subject
I wouldn't mind another fling

Guess this old guy is much too realistic
Watching the space shows on TV
Can't believe how infinitesimal we are
As insignificant as a little old flea

So now you know my thoughts on the subject
Hope we can still all be friends
Maybe one day we'll find out the answer
When we finally come to the end
