If you can get them being arrested2
Doing something utterly humiliating3
Or committing adultery, screwing around4
Drunk, stoned, or fighting like a dervish5
That is the best of all6
Making out or generally being romantic7
Bad hair day with or without makeup8
Getting in or out of their very cool cars9
Weddings they wanted to and tried to kept secret10
Attempts at disguises that didn't quite work11
These are all really good too12
Walking down the street, purposely posing13
On the red carpet, at promotional events14
Premiers, award shows, charity functions15
Studio stills where they look their best16
These are not big money shots17
Better rent a helicopter for a view of their house18
While they try to hide behind curtains19
Chase them down the street shouting their names20
As they dodge you and curse you in horror21
Hide in the bushes the better to invade their privacy22
If you want that money shot better get in their faces.23

Papparazzi Poetry
Very cool poem. I like how you used the term money shot because of its dual meaning in both pornography and papparazzi media. It kind of ties them together as mutually(and equally) degrading phenomenon. Very smart and cool.
