Beauty Queens

Near Abu Dhabi, beauty queens
Must have expressive eyes.
Their droopy lips and shapely humps
Might help them earn a prize.

The competition’s very fierce;
Big bucks are the reward.
Contestants, in the thousands,
Strut around, appearing bored.

The winners, wearing necklaces
Designed to look like gold,
Bring honor to their owners
Right before each camel’s sold.

Yet many Arabs would prefer to walk a mile for the Camel! Enjoyed, Ilene! Aloha!
