If I Had a Camel

If I had a camel
a nice dromedary
there'd be all sorts of things
my camel could carry

A big bag of sugar
up there on his humps
to put in my coffee
just one or two lumps

If I had a camel
we’d go on long hikes
We’d stroll through the forest
or maybe ride bikes

If I had a camel
I’d have a big sack
of sunflower seeds
right there on his back

Then we could both chew them
and spit out the shell
If I had a camel, 
man, that would be swell

You do know that camels spit, don't you? (chuckling) I really enjoyed this one, and I'll bet Eve Roper will, too, if she reads it. Great one for kids!
