Written to notes and rhythm of the 1st stanza of Mozart's 'Papagena!' duet in The Magic Flute. To Bugs and Elmer!
Snap!
Hold… Be - still! Quick, let’s - roll. Where - did - you - go? You - aim - too - slow. How’s one supposed to take your picture when you’re tippy-tapping on your toes? The sun light’s perfect; snap it this minute. You are holding the camera, point the darn thing and take the shot! Oh – I’m sorry I said that. Sure – you’re always like your dad. Never mind, the moment’s lapsed. Just want to go home, take a bath. With me you don’t – and that is that.
