Say Cheese

 

By Elton Camp

 

It puts me under an irritating little trial

When a photographer demands I smile

 

If it doesn’t work for him to ask, “Please,”

Next to come is the expression, “Say cheese”

 

Then, “Say whiskey” may be the next attempt

From smiling at that one, I also am exempt

 

I am not even a bit inclined to smile today

And you’re not going to get me to�"no way

 

Actually, I think that most folks are repelled

By a smile that obviously has been compelled

 

Photographer, there’s no need to stay around

All you are going to get from me is a frown
