My house is on fire
What shall I do
I’ve seconds to decide
My choices are few
Shall I grab my money
My precious jewels
Or my brand new furry
Bedside mules?

This smoke is deadly
I can hardly breathe
I make a mental list
Of what to bequeath
But live or die
I’ll wear my designer dress
I’ve got to look great
For all the press!

Plan Ahead ?

Forget the class
Save your ass
Only vain fools
Will save the mules

There is a serious side to this of course. Earthquake Tsunami all sorts of situations requiring split second thinking..... I heard rumour that the Russians on board got their wallets out in a flash on the Cruise Liner but the Captain (and crew?) were one slip ahead of them haha...The Italian Job....

live and die for art

fire escape
I'd run out naked if I had to escape a fire! Screw material things. But, then again, the firemen might grab the wrong hose...

To Bea
If there was a fire
I ain't got much loot
so I'll just do my best
to save my birthday suit

Nice piece!
Thanks for the smile!
