Mr Dromedary

Mr Dromedary
Looked so forlorn today.
He tried to fathom out 
Why he was being sent away.

A magnitude of questions
Stormed around his anxious head.
Is it my wonky gait?
Is it something I've done or said?

Is it because my regurgitated 
Cud could fill a barrel?
Are my eyelashes too long?
Is it my shaggy apparel?

So many fears and insecurities 
Occupied this camel.
He even contemplated
His unflossed enamel!

His severe lack of confidence
Kept his Dulla small. 
Is this why the girls don't 
Gel with me during mating call?

Had he strayed too many times
From the leadings of the boss?
He was in a quandary.
He was truly at a loss.

And all it boiled down to
Was another wildlife resort
Needed Mr Dromedary 
To expand his sort.
