One Hump Or Two

I thought I knew about camels But then found out, that's not the case I thought they had a hump or two And that they might spit in your face! They will only spit when threatened So don't be acting all crazy What actually threatens them though Seems to be a little hazy Translated "camel" means beauty Their demeanor, I'd have to say They graze and chew at the same time Their mouth lets them do it that way Their number of toes is even All accounts are quick to point out Obviously if that were not true, It would be odd without a doubt! Camels they say, are very sweet Apparently their milk is too You should try a camel milk shake Like those in Abu Dhabi do! So if you want one as a pet Decide how many humps will do One hump for you may suffice I though, would prefer to have two!

I don't think I'd want a camel as a pet - my water bill would overflow (get it?)

Ha Ha! That's true, they can drink a lot of water. But then theoretically they wouldn't need any for a while. I'm not sure how happy they would be in your back yard though!.......80)

G'day Pat … plenty of feral camels down here. No good for you though. They only have one hump. Very entertaining Pat - Lindsay
