Make It Your Own

Sometimes I take material that is not a poem and then I rewrite it and make it my own. Below is a FWD that I once reveived. What follows after is how I turned it to poetry. * Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.......spank his butt again!" * The emergency call reached the paramedic. A baby was about to be born. He could hardly see through his windshield, as he battled the raging storm. A 3 year old girl greeted him at the doorway allowing him to enter her home. She took him by the hand and said, "This way doctor man," and then led him to her Mommy's room. It was a very dark night, so he asked the child to hold his flashlight so he could assist the baby from leaving its mother's womb. He held the baby by its legs and spanked its little bottom. The baby cried and a new life was born. With great concern the paramedic asked the young child, "How do you feel about what you just saw?" "He should have never crawled up there in the first place," she said, "You should spank him again once more."
