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.
