Humphrey

A camel at the Camelot
Didn't seem happy or comfy
For alas, he was without humps
So of course they named him Humphrey

His face popped up throughout the land
A hero against attrition 
He even had a fan club called,
The Humphrey Camel Coalition!

Soon they made a "GoFundMe" site 
To get him humps without delay
One happy Wednesday he got humps
So now they call Wednesday hump day!

Karen Camel became his bride
His "Best Camel" was a horse
Then she gave birth to a pony
And sadly they got a divorce!

Camels are no different to us humans by the look of it. I hope he enjoys his humps - thanks Pat - Lindsay

I do hope you are collecting these into a book, if you haven't already. Have you?

Well, I've started on a second ring binder, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a collection or just kind of cleaning up!......80)
