Sheep are a flock, quails are a bevy
Rats come in packs, ants are an army
Sisters, brothers and such are a family.
Unlike other creatures who rely on sheer instinct
Humans need holiday photos card to always be linked.
So here’s my advice (with an eye firmly winked)…
When snapping pix at that holiday work party
Take them early before people take flight,
Or before celebration causes behavior
That colleagues wouldn’t want caught on film that night.
Table shots of bleary-eyed folks clutching drinks
Won’t make the newsletter, or bring any delight.
At family reunions, weddings and such
Special groupings by generations are fun.
Large numbers will need that special touch;
Yell, “Duck, your head’s blocking Aunt Ida’s face!”
Kick off your stilettos or boots, find a high perch
Then snap away fast as you can while all are in place.
