Lomg Necked Ruminant

Long Necked Ruminant 

So you think a camel is just an ugly animal,
a camel has kissable lips and eyes like 
Marilyn Monroe; and it gives milk, low fat and 
nourishing. But I bet you didn’t know that. 

When a four wheel, stops by lack of petrol in 
the sand of Sahara, the camel with its padded
 cloves trudges along, smells like hell, but
 who cares when it can bring you to an oasis.

Sweet dates, cold water and languor under 
palm trees, a dream comes true, but do not
forget it was a camel that brought you there.
And have you ever tasted camel cheese?
