Seven Things I'D Save From House Fire

If by an accidental fire my house ever gets overrun And I’m alone, save these things of urgent concern. The wallet with cash and crucial cards, lest into ash it turns The cell phone to be in contact with people I’d badly yearn The folder with all house documents I’d need when I return The car key to drive out, where a temporary shelter I’d earn The prized painting I had created, I can’t lose and let it burn The worshiped idol to save me from the peril I can’t discern The frame of my mind, keep it cool, won’t allow it to churn.
