The Last Straw

A camel in a wildlife park Went on a wild attack; He kicked and bit his owner Then he sat down on his back. I read this in The New York Times So this was not in jest. The reason for the rampage, though, Is harder to digest. It seems the camel loved to drink A Coke, which he was given By the owner, who forgot and so To rage that beast was driven. The message here is very clear – If you’ve a pet with humps, Don’t deprive him of his cola Or prepare to take your lumps.

:) You do have a way of reiterating a story. This actually has an air of humor to it. Compared to the tiger story. Peace. :) Sounds like a rough time at the zoo. :) :( :) :/ :l
