My life has now become complete. My world is happy and so sweet. Old Santa was quite good to me... A digital camera 'neath my tree! All day and night I'm on the hunt, World, greet the newest Allen Funt! All things that pass within my sight I gladly capture with delight! Unsuspecting passers-by Fall into my camera's eye. Birds seen flying overhead... Roses in my flower bed. Bugs on leaves and blooms on trees.... Buildings, clouds and honey bees.... All those pretty northern peaches Frequenting our sandy beaches.  My dog sees me and starts to growl (And, lately, has been known to howl) Whenever I start taking pics And forcing him to do some tricks. Sit up! Lie down! Roll over, boy! Shake hands! Now jump! Go fetch that toy! I beg and plead for him to smile (But he keeps snarling all the while). My girlfriend's on guard every hour Especially when she's in the shower Because she knows she runs the risk Of being immortalized on disk!  So many neat things I can do With what dear Santa brought. What neat things can I do tonight.........? I shutter at the thought!  |

This gave me a great smile Balladeer. I can just picture you finding new focus in little things. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

That's great! Have fun with it! That's what I need...my camera just broke  and I have film still in it. Guess it's time to get out the old credit card! (maybe I should wait...I just got laid off from my job...nah, I think I'll get one anyway!)  Fantasically funny poem, Balladeer!!  Denise |

Uh-oh....A bad boy with a camera! *LOL* Look out world... (ahem...this goes nicely to the tune of Jingle Bells...ROTFLMAO) Balladeer has photo gear You'd better run and hide! Unless you're sure you can endure his catching your bad side! Balladeer has photo gear The truth is out at last! So remember this ~ don't be remiss And cover your own *ss!! Oh Balladeer has photo gear Santa brought to him! Watch yourself, don't be an elf! He's FLASHING all at whim! la la la la la la la la la la la! Great poem, Sir. Have fun with your new toy!It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Oh man, what a delight my digital camera is to me, Balladeer. I can truly relate to all this...(And I never have to worry about if the film co. will develop the really good shots..LOL) Lately though, Mikey has been sneaking around getting plenty of mug shots of me...I guess turn about is always fair play. Glad you got such a wonderful gift from Santa. Michael |

Denise....who could lay you off? Thanks for the comment. Caroline, that's great! I could actually sing it to Jingle bells! You crack me up! Rainbow....yes, it is very steamy, lucky for her.....and, no, I don't understand why Caroline considers me a bad boy with a camera. (How does she know me so well?) Michael ....yes, they are great and I'll bet Mikey's having fun getting back at you! Nan........you do that. Devina.....yes, it is a delight and easy to fall in love with these little boxes. Thank you. |

Balladeer politely mutters "Say cheese, guys" and clicks the shutter All his friends begin to sputter Faces red and then Sy utters "No more candid shots' you'll shutter Or you'll end up in the gutter Now just grab your little putter" Then Balladeer begins to shudder Tears in eyes in anxious stutter "No more can I click my shutter? This has been my bread and butter His little heart begins to flutter Mind askew in nervous clutter No more interest in his putter Clinging close to his dear shutter |

LOL just like a little kid with a new toy! Taking pictures of everything that moves. Cameras sure are fun though. Now give your girlfriend a break Balladeer...let her at peace in the shower. <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

LoL, hey i think santa brought you my gift by accident, thats what I wanted!!! But I see you are having so much more fun with it then I would, I wont complain!! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Ya don't know how good ya look Till ya had your picture took. Try self timer, get in the act, It can really be erotic, and that's a fact! Just picture this, you and your hand, Taking self portraits, erotica grand. Then send it to Hustler, old Mr. Flynt He'll make ya a star, you'll make a mint. Put the lens on Macro, a snapshot of your "tool" Then put it on normal, then ya can fool, All of the ladies who'll think you're the king, Just never expose them, to the real thing!

Thanks, all for the replies. Elizabeth, how do you do that so well? You had everything in there except the Downtown Strutters Ball! Toerag, you cur... R O T F L M A O !!! That one, my friend, is classic Toerag. Gotta love it!! They can name the photo spread "Handing me a handout of hand-me-downs to handily have 'em handy." I'm always willing to give someone a hand but, in your case, it will be three fingers and a thumb short.  |
