PowerShot Death Haiku

...

Fly away from me!
Speed through air, downward dropping.
PowerShot, meet floor.

From the "grave"

Butterfingered man!
Unfailing, I served your needs.
This is my reward?

Strong metal body!
But lens barrel crumples like
Fragile tin foil.

Well, that does look a whole lot worse than what my wife did to her A10. In that case, I was able to pull the lens back to the proper position and it worked.

When something is already trashed, you don't to worry about breaking it!

Sorry, I wasn't up to putting this in haiku form.

Extra syllable
in your Haiku disappoints,
much like your Panny.

What you sell might be
another's treasure, not mine.
Good luck on Ebay.

Old gone; new begins.
Enlightened soul ponders not
Canon loyalty!

Beckons me. But what comes next?
PMA in March...

To borrow wife's Elph,
One submits to condition:
Lanyard around neck!

Lanyard beats wrist strap,
Wear Elph as jewelry... but
Wrist strap beats damage!

Jealous tears burn face.
