PROMPT ~ PHOTO ALLERGIC.
IMAGE INSECURITY
by John Yeo
Whenever he heard a camera make an ominous click
He shook with anxiety his breathing out of control
He almost fainted, he was becoming photo allergic.
~
Every photograph he saw made him physically sick
His eyes filled with tears, he was hard to console
Whenever he heard a camera make an ominous click.
~
He knew fate had played a cruel despicable trick
A photograph had captured his heart and soul,
He almost fainted, he was becoming photo allergic.
~
Everyone he met looked a confirmed sceptic
The frightening feelings built and began to unroll
Whenever he heard a camera make an ominous click.
~
He pleaded with everyone, ‘Please don’t take a pic!
The slightest suggestion took a terrible toll
He almost fainted, he was becoming photo allergic.
~
His state of mind cut through his feelings to the quick
There was no escape he would scream and cajole
Whenever he heard a camera make an ominous click
He fainted – He was clearly photo allergic.
