Because it Got in the Way

Neville

Because it Got in the Way

 

If it moved he would shoot it

If it did not move

He would often shoot it twice

    • Neville



      Yes, some people are indeed .. and some people are serial killers while others keep bees .. fortunately, not too many though .. I did mean the former by the way ... thank you yellowrose .. it never ceases to amaze how folk interpret this or that .. well everything really ..

      Stay safe n well out there my friend .......................... 🙂

    • Fay Slimm.

      Vital points made in this three liner my friend. The fate of most "game" in a nutshell - shame on those who make a sport of killing................x

      • Neville



        I detest any form of blood sport Fay ...... thank you for smiling down on this little scribble 🙂 .. x

      • Poetic Dan

        What do you mean it won't move, then take two! Ha ha, if everything is nothing then play on. It takes time to know it comes around.

        Have a wonderful day

        • Neville

          • Neville



            thank you Mr. O .. indeed and as yet, no one has guessed the motivation behind this particular little scribble .. 🙂

            Yikes... I once spoke to a sniper who said they were sort of taught to do that, assuming they spotted a "legitimate" target. If you miss with one shot, the target may hope you stop trying!

            • Neville



              I like to think I might be that brave, or stupid ............ 🙂

            • jarcher54

              The riddle being one of the oldest genres of literature (poetry?), gratitude for continuing the spirit of that tradition.

              • Neville



                cheers my friend ................ my inspiration for this little scribble came from watching a photographer at work ......................................................................................................... 🙂

                  Ah, thanks for the key! Now I can sleep! Very clever that.

                • SureshG

                  I looked straight at my nemesis and wondered - why!
                  Your words, exceptional

                  • Neville



                    how brave .. how kinda kind .. bless you SureshG .. many thanks indeed 🙂

                  • myself and me

                    A funny reason for a silly shoot. If it move too fast, he will miss it.

                    • Neville



                      you can get some incredibly fast shutter speeds these days .. faster than a bullet even .. Cheers 🙂

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Those who shoot life for pleasure are totally despicable Neville.

                      • Neville



                        I totally agree but ... the inspiration for this little scribble came from my watching a nature photographer at work 🙂

                      • Accidental Poet

                        Interesting play with words N. When I shoot, I shoot with a Canon. ; )

                        • Neville



                          ... Aah ya got me sir .......................................and me with my Nikon D7500 🙂

                          • Accidental Poet

                            A great piece of equipment there Sir. I collect cameras. ; )

                            • Neville



                              Darn it .. my daughter just sold an amazing collection of oldies & very oldies ..............

                              • Accidental Poet

                                Really? Ironically, I'm about to sell my collection of old cameras. I don't really want to, but I don't have the room to display them like I originally wanted to. And I figure they aren't doing me any good just sitting there. Zeiss Ikons, Kodaks, Argus, Brownies, Polaroids, folding cameras, box cameras, Canons, Nikons, Minoltas. Even some old movie cameras. I just really love the older cameras and how the changes in photography has changed in almost 200 years.
