The Second Coming Of Sampson And Delilah Poem by Stanley Cooper

I never believed in reincarnation
It seemed too far-out to me
People in fear of their lives termination
Invented this life guarantee

But something’s occurred, to make me rethink
Perhaps I’ve been wrong all these years
Could it be, my think’s out of sync
That might be the case, it appears

Sampson and Delilah returned from the past
But with differences really quite sizable
Their torrid affair, we know didn’t last
Reincarnated, they’re unrecognizable

They could have come back as Mrs. and Mr.
But, no, they didn’t do that
They’re now in my home as brother and sister
Reincarnated as cats

Sampson’s the strong one, retaining his hair
Enticing Delilah, the cats meow
I contemplatively hereby declare
Reincarnation I must now avow
