Sadly, Shutter Speed
When I was new in photography,
I was hoping an adventure;
But by the end of the day
Just a lecture.
Then they picked up camera,
Aimed at a deer.
It captured even food stuck in its teeth.
They smiled and said,
“What slowed down the dear,
Is shutter speed.”
At home, In front of TV,
I was just lying.
It cried, “Tonight,
Meteors will be falling.”
At night, It struck,
I picked camera
And then woke up.
Waited whole night
And got a line,
Captured in camera.
Next day, at nine,
I presented picture.
They looked with no heed,
They smiled and said,
“All black, sadly, Shutter speed.”
