My husband bought me a camera
To try to improve on my skills
You see, I am a point and press girl
Nothing fancy, no frills!
This one is rather larger
Than the phone that I normally use
With dials and buttons and lenses
About which I don’t have a clue!
I couldn’t wait to start using it
And snapped at all in my sight
Playing with all of the settings
And fiddling about with the light!
It has its own little knapsack
Where I can pack it away
Jammed in with all its accessories
Zipped up so it will stay
Then I see a bird in the garden
Oh, look at it hopping about
Now his wife’s come to join him
Time for the camera to come out
Because I didn’t want to break it
I eased it out from the case
But, the birds have now scarpered
A photo shoot, gone to waste!
I went to a local beauty spot
Practising shot after shot
Trying out all of the settings
Pleased with the photos I’d got
I went to put them all on computer
And then something went horribly wrong
All of my beautiful pictures
Had just disappeared and had gone!
Nooooooooo

I was soooo mad! I am not even sure how I did it, and I haven’t done it again since!

How often that has happened to me! That’s why I stick to my iPhone. It goes up to a cloud (somewhere), but don’t take my word for it, Judy.
Happy snapping. ?

Thanks Hugh. I use my phone more often than not as it is so handy, but I do like to play with the other camera too. 🙂

And who can blame you, Judy. Enjoy using it and I hope we get to see some of its work.

Well, you have seen one or two, and providing I don’t delete them again, you should start seeing more soon! 🙂

Oh no!! That’s so frustrating, Judy. I’m sorry you lost your photos. I always just use my iPhone.

I was rushing to transfer everything onto the computer and in my haste did something to delete the lot! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
