House On Fire

HOUSE ON FIRE

       If house catches fire,
        on instant reflex action, I will call Fire Brigade and make hurry
       to leave the house firstly taking my credit card
      as money is mandatory.
      Secondly, I will pick up sharp my passport.
      Thirdly I will grasp my mobile phone.
      Next to collect regular medicines as important as diet.
     Then, second set of specs, I need most.
     Sixth choice demands few dresses in a small bag.
     Last but not the least to carry vanity bag containing
    eye-brow pencil, comb and house-key
     with a hope to re-enter the house,
     when fire will be under control,
    if Fire Brigade be able to play perfect role.

    'Seven Things You Would save If Your House Was On Fire'
      Contest by Caren Krutsinger

Note. Twenty five years back, suddenly I noticed forest fire in vast field full of dry plants and  shrubs  just few yards away in front of my house. Only me and my minor daughter were in the house. Immediately I called Fire Brigade and left the house holding hand of my daughter and took nothing but the house-key.
