an ode about taking pictures


Yesterday afternoon
we tried to take pictures of the children in their
Easter clothes.
It had been raining for the last two days.
The grass was soggy
and the clouds hung very low.
A new burst was expected at anytime.

It turned into chaos very quickly.

By the end of about 15 minutes
every beautiful linen shirt,
 dress,
 and pants
were covered with mud and wet grass.

I've never seen them be badder.

We called an ending when
one of them
sustained a non life-threating
head and eye injury.
 Wails could be heard in
Richmond Hill.

They didn't get to have their
ice cream treat
because of bad behavior.

The pictures above
 were snapped
within five seconds of each other.

Talk about loading cats on a flat-bed truck!!!
