Say Cheese

As I go through
some old photos,
I can't help but notice,
that we must have been
caught off guard,
at times we look tired,
like we just want to retire,
constipated,
or simply frustrated,
poker faced,
or like we forgot
to tie our shoe laces,
(thats the ones
with the derrieres),
or like were in a hurry
and a tizzy,
even look kind of tipsy,
or like we don't
even care,
so from now on,
not wanting to even
see a frown,
I'm going to count to 3,
then maybe per chance,
you all will have a chance,
to smile and say cheese!

That's funny Cheryl. I love looking at those old photos. We certainly weren't professionals back then like we are now with the Selfies and everything else. Great write. Have an awesome weekend! Cheeeeeese!
