Photo Bug

Picture This

Aw c'mon now quit your pouting

you are so emo lately

we all still like you, Ned

so take that silly camera off your head

 

you don't really want to jump off a bridge

there are other ways to take a snapshot

of a quickdrop

 

poor baby,kwit-yer-whinin'

I told you I'm not posing nude for ya

are you nuts? or sumthin'

strap that camera a little lower

like in your pants, so you have some kind of protrusion

 

Quit confusin' yourself

with delusions of being a famous photographer

Aw c'mon Ned, you're oh so emo, you lil' photo bug

 you know we all love you

please don't shoot yourself in the head

let me do it for you

Excellent. I really enjoyed this one. Really funny, and it reminds me of all those sorts of attention-seeking whiners in the world: Emo's, exactly fits that M.O. "Oh, I'm so depressed and I hate the world and oh, I'm so individual and no one understands..!"
And this fits the picture so exactly, a great concept. That picture is Ned, definitely.
The ending is spot on.
Really well-written, with a real natural feel to it. Quality.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to love this or be offend, so I'll take the middle route and tell you that emo people have something chemically wrong.
Now for your poem... it was good. Well crafted and written. I love the photo.

I love it!!! It's raw, it's spineless and funny, and definately witty. Love your interpertation of the poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Oh so delightfully witty and yet tells truthfully bout those who make everything into a big deal just for attention.

how refreshingly different, your words are beautifully animated!

Amazing! I like this, this is wonderful. I could feel the emotion in this.

For some reason when I was reading this, I did it with a British accent in my head. It was great. I really liked as James put it the sarcastic mood to it. Keep up the good work.
