James Van Der Zee, 1886-1983


He tried me on the sofa,
He tried me on the chair,
He tried me on the window sill,
But he couldn’t get it there;
He tried me lying on the couch
I stood against the wall,
I even sat upon the floor,
It wouldn’t work at all;
He tried it this way and that way,
Oh! how I did laugh
To see how many ways he tried
To take my photograph

  1. Who originally wrote this poem? Was it James Van Der Zee's wife, and if so which one?
