What Can't You Live Without?

What can't you live without? Toothbrush? Ipod? Chapstick? Whatever it is, that is the theme for this contest.

Pretend that you are stranded on a desert island in the middle of an ocean with a single palm tree in the center. Suddenly, you see all of your belongings before your eyes. A mysterious voice tells you that you may take whatever you would like, but only one thing. What would you take?

Tell me what you would take, why you took that, etc.
Whatever you would like.

RULES~
- Go easy on the swearing.
- No dirty pretty, erotica, etc.
- Please keep your entry to poem form (in other words, NO PROSE!)
- No bashing whatsoever.
- Keep the length decent, please.

Thanks to all and have fun!!!
