Early Saturday morning
While strolling in the wood
I chanced upon a lady
Who by the wayside stood
"And what pray tell would such a lass as you be doing here?"
"I've come to take some photographs," she said as she drew near
Says me to her, "I do declare, this is a fateful day
For I had 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 at your command"
Well, my camera so delighted her
That with no more delay
She let me see her camera case
Wherein her accessories lay
"I'm sure," says I, "you've got most everything that can be bought
Just help me stretch my tripod before I take some shots"
Well, 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 open wide
For daylight was all gone
Likewise, my naked camera lens
It had its filter on
Well this lady had experience
With cameras, yes indeed
And I thought her exposures
The best I ever seed
Although she seemed to tire not
As on and on we went
Says I, "We'll have to finish now
My film supply is spent"
Said she, "I've had Minoltas, Yashicas and Rollei
Hasselblad and Pentax, likewise a Polaroid
Miranda, Leica, Nikormat, a Kodak and the rest
But now I've had your Nikon F
And surely it's the best!"
