Taking Photos

Taking photos is what I do

It makes me happy to take a few

It gets me outdoors into fresh air

To places both far and near

Just in case an image fails

I take many of same like I’m off the rails

Using every bit of all my gear

From lenses that can do far and near

I’m likely to get so caught up

With what I’m doing that I forget to sup

Time habitually slips away

Reality returns when tum gets its way

The problems start when I get home

By the evil horrible computer gnome

He fills my hard drive to the tit

So my images can hardly fit

And then I have to pick and choose

Which images to keep, or which to lose

I feel so bogged down with all these files

So decide to rest my camera for a while

Then someone rings and invites me out

On an outing that I’ve not heard about

So I grab my cam and give it all I’ve got

And end up taking loads of shots

But in the end it’s so worthwhile

And Camera club always makes me smile

And when your image an honours brings

It swells your heart and makes you sing.
