I wasn't prepared cried careless Kitty,
when the earthquake rumbled through our city.
I didn't believe it would come so soon.
All I could grab was a tablespoon.
Nothing to put in it, no soup, no spam,
no pork and beans, not even dried ham.
For 72 hours I've had nothing to eat,
nothing to drink, no clothes, no heat.
72 hours, you must agree,
is much too long with no T P !!
no knife, no flashlight, no bar of soap,
no matches, no blankets, alas no hope.
There are so many things I yearn for and miss.
I don't even know where my husband is.
I'm hungry, I'm dirty, my morale is low.
Sure hope my children knew where to go.
I resolve, if I get a 2nd chance;
I'll pay the piper, before I dance.
So when disaster plays it's woeful tune,
I'll have something to eat with my tablespoon.

Let's not be like careless Kitty. Make sure your 72 hour kits are packed and ready to go in an emergency. Don't wait until it's too late.
