I have a small first aid kit
That was issued with the job
And I'm allowed to use it
If there's injury to Sue or Bob
When I looked inside it,
I simply was amazed
For this first aid kit contained
items that had me phased
First there were the gloves
Well that's ok for me
And a single eye patch
In case of injury
But then I discovered
Three plaster strips in there,
Then I found a mouth guard
In case I'd ever dare
To resuscitate a victim
Using expired air
And not much else inside the sack
So I put all the items back
Put the kit within my case
Thoughts of content, my mind erased
See, I've got this first aid kit
And on it I can call
If the victim's nearly dead
Or hardly hurt at all.

Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday...

Kethry, if I ever need resuscitation, I hope you and your little kit are nearby

This is a very cute poem and  very comfortably written
