Reflections
on
Mr Murch's Recent Lecture
If
you can photograph a hackneyed subject And
treat it in a different kind of way,
Removing
highlights where they aren’t wanted
And
putting others in where they will pay.
If
you can liquidate unwanted children
And
turn the smoke to drift against the wind,
Or
make the sun set where it was at midday
And
don’t confess how many ways you’ve sinned
If
you can focus on a bit that matters
And
leave the distant lamp-posts slightly hazy,
Or
lighten up the overhanging branches
And
see the charm of paving when it’s crazy
If
you can do just half the things I’ve mentioned,
Or
even one or two supremely well,
You’ll
be a downright regular Royal Fellow -
A
Whitehead-Mortimer-Murch-McKissock-Dell.
