Found: If you are kidnapped

I was looking through a notebook I was scribbling in, and found a great little poem I wrote for Kristi when she was headed to Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami.

If You Are Kidnapped

Don’t panic.
Tell them I’m fabulously wealthy -
   I’ll think of something.
If they’re Muslim, don’t say you’re a “crusader”.
Don’t forget - martyrdom is cool.
Drink lots of water.
Make friends with the bugs;
   try giving them names to pass the time.
Remember Last of the Mohecans:
“I will find you! I will!”
“Cooooooorrrrrrraaaaahhhhhh!!!”
