Camel Back Straw Broken Into 2

Gimme your best shot

Why the hell not

And let the both of us

Play an unfriendly game

Of pick up Camel

Straw's and stick's 

And the winner

Is or will be decided

By whomever

Break's as many backs 

As either you or I

Or at very least

Failing that

Gets the most backs up

And being it's a Camel

It sure as hell

Has to be at very least

More than the very minimum of 2

Otherwise what's the use

We may just as well

Play 

Water 
V
Sand

And see who eventually makes it

Out of the desert

Full of sand

Onto beach sand

And then we can quibble

And compare 

Sand
V
Sand

As we die of thirst

As neither of us

Can drink or survive

On salt water

Proving the point

The only thing 2 stupid people

Will ever agree on

Is when

And after

That are both

Dead

The other may have in fact had

A valid point 

But saying and admitting that

Got your nose out of joint

So ouch so

You had to ram home your point
