Short First Aid Poems

inappropriate 
humor of senility
super-silly-ous
not the super-serious
first aid for friend and his wife...

Tears stained her good skirt.
Lapped child, he’s fair hurt.
Kissed knee with first aid.
Soft wiped the laud dirt....

Cut the cancer,
Lance the boil,
Oil the rash,
Gash the unnatural growths 
Inside your soul.

And splash on sentiment, afterward:
Cheap antiseptic, but it won’t sting....

Put down the knife.
Put down the blade
If you keep doing that you’ll need first aid
Babe please don’t die tonight
You only have one life. So live it right.
Try to think this through
People do love you.
Honey, please don’t cry.
You don’t have to say goodbye....

Grandma’s button box and first aid kit were both mainstays in the kitchen.
We knew she had everything to help us if we were hurting or itch'n.
If we tore up our pants, got poison ivy or ripped a button off our coat,
She could have us fixed up in seconds, and then milk a cow or a goat....

We're often on the water
and made sure our kids
were well trained 
in water safety
two were Bronze Star ,
all had basic First Aid,
one plays in rapids
I carry around.

Now that they are 
off on their own,
I've come to realize
that water currents
are the least
of their problems....

my man jack
keeps me focused
always on track

to skip
shake my hip
soft beso to my lip
did i fall for your mack?
thought jack 
had my back
fu** it…
take this
first aid kit
of my heart mend the cracks...

Does anyone know the computation for emotional debts unpaid?
Does anyone make a tourniquet for emotional first aid?
Who makes the rules about emotions that should be displayed?
The scales of my thoughts feel these things must be weighed
These questions left unanswered could lead to rot and jade
Perhaps the most difficult is realizing emotions have been played...

People flocked round badly hurt Paul,
Ten minutes ago had a fall
While he was playing rough football...
And they had to a doctor call, 
Then with chess players in a hall, 
Loved more than the card's near a mall
"No! His treatment not in this hall, 
For not being ethical at all...
Some First Aid and then my clinic...
At least, it'll save me one cynic!"
And you with a dislocation:
Get ready for relocation....

I woke up today, I think I did
A faint beep beep in my ear
Silent rustling of clothes
Dust sparks in sun beams
Blinding my eyes

I think I am awake, today
There is a vague memory
of hands taking me down
of performing first aid
of voices, soft and soothing

I am awake, I am, today
I didn't think I'd ever
I surrendered, gave up
I get another chance
But do I want it?

Imagine you opened First Aid Box
And, of all things, saw the blood of ox
While you’d wanted to help your Small Pox,
Would it you panic to leave your pocks
Or would you for gloves try your two socks
Or to gods try to sacrifice cocks
Or off speed in the manner of Cox
After reasoning things out like a fox?
Ox blood-stains on all sides of The Box!

Whichever you choose, not what one mocks:
This is The Twenty-First Century;
Much caution in handing injury....

S-ave lives during disaster, 
C-alamity and debacle; 
A-im to show compassion, 
N-ot the cruelty of the devil.

I-t's the moment to save lives, 
N-ever thinking of self-interest; 
T-uesday sixth of February, 
E-veryone does what is best.
R-emain prepared and alert, 
N-ever forget the equipment; 
A-llow the different devices
T-o do the first aid or treatment.
I-t's time to bring the box
O-f emergency rescue knives; 
N-o way will they ignore
A-nother chance to save
L-ives....
