Hi  All,

There's a   very serious   discussion  elsewhere  on the   Forum  about  the   depressing   truth  of  faked  photo-printed  bottles  !  ( It  was   originally    started  under the   title  of "Photo-enhanced images"  but  now  it's  been   changed to  "Faked Photo-Printed Bottles" , which is  what they really  are)

By way of some  light  relief  .........
 

Did  you ever  read the  famous    parody  on   the  poem  Hiawatha  ?
(It's one  of the  very few  poems  I can remember  - I mean the   parody, not the  original  poem !) 

       When he  killed the  Mudjokivis.
       Of the skin he made him mittens,
       Made them with the fur side inside,
       Made them with the skin side outside.
       He, to get the warm side inside,
       Put the inside skin side outside;
       He, to get the cold side outside
       Put the warm side fur side inside.
       That's why he put the fur side inside,
       Why he put the skin side outside,
       Why he turned them inside outside. 

  Now  here's my version    Wink   .......

       When he faked the painted bottle,
       On a  film  he printed  picture.
       Made the picture  facing outside,
       On the  printed film's side  inside.
       With the  picture   facing outside,
       Stuck the  film  the  bottle inside.
       Masked  the printed  film's side base side,
       By  painting  bottle's  base side inside.
       That's  why  he put the film side inside,
       Why he faced the  printing  outside,
       Why he  fake them  inside outside.

                    Cheesy     Cheesy    Cheesy

Cheers    Peter @  HK

PS. I call  this  IBP  :  Inside Bottle  Poetry     Wink
