T 'was early on a Saturday morn,
I was strollin' in the wood.
I chanced upon a lady
who by the wayside stood.
I said, pray,
what would such a lass
as you be doin' here?
I've come to take some photographs,
she said, as I drew near.
Said I to her, I do declare,
this is a fateful day.
For I have come to photograph
the same as you did say.
So I pulled out my Nikon F
and placed it in her hand.
She said, that's quite a camera,
you've got it your command.
My camera so delighted her
that with no more delay,
She let me see her camera case
wherein her accessories lay.
I said to her, I'm sure you've
everything that can be bought.
Just let me stretch my tripod
before I take some shots.
We photographed from haylofts
and up against the wall.
If you've not photographed
on a Saturday night,
you've not photographed at all.
She had her shutter opened wide
for daylight was all gone.
Likewise, my naked camera lens,
it had it s filter on.
This lady had experience with cameras,
yes, indeed.
And I thought that her exposure's
the best I ever see'd.
Although she seemed to tire not,
as on and on we went.
Says, I will have to finish now,
my film supply is spent.
She said, I've had Minolta's,
Yoshika's,
and Rolay,
Hasselblad and Pentax,
likewise, a Polaroid, Miranda,
Leica,
Nicormat, a Kodak,
and the rest.
But now I've had your Nikon F,
I'm sure that it's the best.
