The story of the sunflowers

My friend and I made a plan

we were going to photograph sunflower fields

in the waning evening light

I had the fields located

the camera batteries were charged

and the sunset looked to be beautiful

we drove 30 miles to the North

and located the fields

but to our dismay,

the flowers were nodding their heads

there would be no sunflower photos tonight

they were thirsty or sleepy

and the light had faded much too quickly.

But luckily, the carnival was in town...
