Twas The Holiday Photo

Sounds like Gill is about as good at having her picture taken as I am.

Twas two days before Christmas
and all through my childhood home
my sister sets up the camera
and I silently moan
Why do we do this
I think to my average self
smile bright and cheery
mother says,
gotta be like Saanta’s elves
But I know better
in fact I know well
my eye will close when the flash goes off
so the picture will
to quote my dad
look like hell
