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
