CAN YOU SMILE AND SAY CHEESE? Will you C/C please? and thanks?

THE SHUTTERBUG

The shutterbug just crawls around

And photographs the sky and ground

So-- anything, that comes in view

Will wind up being taken too

It's learned to hold its breath and press

For any festive look or dress

Or if there's not, it gets the shot

As far as stopping, it cannot

This insect's driven far to frame

An entry that will make a name

And cause the news to shoot its mug

But at days end it's just a bug

Update:

I like the poem ideas that show up in questions on here, They're very thought provoking--------william

Update 2:

I don't usually make a comment about the intent of a poem but I feel I have to at least give a clue here-----Think Princess Diana and I believe you will see the meaning that hasn't been conveyed.------------william

    Nice :)

    It's sweet & simple, sounds like it could be in a children's book.

    Seems like a most talented and ambitious and original little bug

    so the last line`s prdejudicially unfair to bugs William.

    There I was, all agog, cheering it on when...poop....a total downer.. . :(

    Therefore it needs at least one more verse ... augmenting the

    interesting cadence of its` life to some kind of `yep` rather than `no` imho.. .

    maybe a video-clip when it`s a teen..one which rocks The Bugworld Cannes Film Festival.

    (I think its` name ought to be `Shimmy`...k?)

    tsk.

    Edit: I just read you `Add Details`... I wince and am sad...you really have guts, man. xxxxx
