I've got the blues
and it's not a ribbon
I can't score high
and I'm not kidd'n
I finish my masterpiece at ten to eleven
I know that it deserves at least a seven
But the votes start coming and spoil my fun
Now who was it that gave me a 1?

Welcome to DPC blues...
Where virtual ribbons are news.
We'll raise quite a stink,
If the challenge is "Pink",
And pout if our votes are all two's!

And has been mentioned, the rhyme scheme is AABBA (not a Swedish pop group). |

There once was a man from Nantucket...
Oh, this has to be a clean limerick! Sorry. |

Laurie has an aversion to maths
Sez us techies are pure Psychopaths
Yet we tease her an bait her
With equations from Euler
Till she runs after us with an axe |

A photographer known as BradP
Who wins ribbons continually
Sometime early last year
(While drinking a beer)
Missed the date rule on his first entry

I shoot with a Canon 10D
But I sure wish it's lenses were free
Now I stay broke
And that is no joke
Because of my photography!
Now, here's one just for kirbic... ;)
Some math I just can't comprehend,
I can't even calculate to the end...
But I am very smart,
and I have a big heart,
And I'm proud to have math geeks as friends.

So enough with all the darned hoopla!

Their behavior can be quite erratic,
Personalities are all BUT static,
They quip and they chat
About this and that,
Such is life for a DPC Fanatic! |

Yeah, it ain't. Jus' wanted to see if someone would call me on it. :-)
A professional poet? You must be "filthy rich"!
I once knew a guy called "bear-music"
who danced to a different tune-"hick"
he'd wax poetic
and we'd call the medic
but there's no cure for a ....goshdarnit, where's my beer when I need a rhyme?
(jus' kiddin'--luv ya Bear!)

Alan Freed is friend of a dame
Named Amber, of Survivor Fame
If that's not enough
He shows off his stuff
Sunday nights after each Steelers game

I once took a shot of a duck
it was really less skill than of luck
over water 'twas flyin'
and I really ain't lyin'
when it hit a large goose and said,
"I'm sorry."

This might do well over at OEDILF as a definition for "Amber" -- we're still submitting "aa"-"az" words, although the pool has just opened for words beginning with "ba" |

Digital shooters are lazy;
they rack up exposures like crazy,
then 'shop 'em to death —
they suck out their breath
by neatening them 'til they're hazy.
*****
I woke up this morning at dawn,
threw what few clothes I have on,
dashed to the beach
(it's well within reach),
but the sunrise was already gone!
*****
The challenge? "Go shoot up an apple!",
but I tell ya, I thought that was crapple —
a sky full of air
and one pomme de terre
later; a brown-ribbon snap'll!
*****
Someone stop me...
Robt.

A photog named Fritz that we know
Got his icon from a TV show
So what would he do
To help win a blue?
He'd say, "Number One, make it so!"

CJ's ribbon count is apparently small
won one shooting a hand on a wall
but he don't despair
as we're all well aware,
keeps himself busy by juggling his balls.

They told us to portray ourselves,
so I rummaged around a few shelves
in my brain til I found
a perfectly round
raindrop undamaged by elves;
I packed it up early one morn
and drove off in search of a thorn
on which I might hang it;
and found one, but danggit,
My efforts were met with pure scorn.
