I Said Goodbye To An Old Friend Of Mine Today!
I said goodbye today
to an old friend of mine.
My very last film camera
has gone to a new home.
It was tired of being cooped up
Just sitting on a self...
feeling unwanted and neglected it was.
It was more than a pretty face
Just sitting on a self.
Don't get me wrong
She was well taken care of.
I treated her like gold
And she was like new.
There was a time when it was
Love at first sight !
I took her almost everywhere with me.
We were partners you see.
So wild and free
Filled with images so beautiful indeed.
We captured sunrises
We captured sunsets...
We stayed up and captured the moon
And landscapes far and wide.
Nature shots too.
We snapped our time away with family and friends...
But along came Digital Cammy
A new romance begun !
The rest of the story you can guess
But bare with me as I confess.
Today I set my old Canon Film Cammy free.
She was taken out of the box
A new battery she was given
And some film too.
I gently picked her up and gave her to her new owner.
I heard her shutter
and you could tell it was love at first sight !
Film Cammy has once again come to life.
She has a new home
And a job to do.
She once more feels useful
And ready for action.
Her new partner is happy as well.
It was love at first sight!
She left and there were no hard feelings.
As I watched her go
I had mixed feelings
I new I had done the right thing.
I was happy for her but a little sad to see her go.
It is the end of an era.
Now just memories
Of the good old days.
