Taking My Camel To Town

I’m taking my camel to town,
do you got a problem with that?
I’m gonna get him some fresh water
and clean provender
What cha say,
they don’t sell to his kind?!
He’s the finest mottled brown,
this side of the Sahara desert sand
This camel got the blackest spots
	        mixed in
Proof that the sun
	calls him his friend
While I’m in town,
I’m gonna buy my beautiful animal
a white straw hat
Do you have a problem with that?

Kim Rodrigues June 29, 2017 at 9:20 AM No problem with your brevity poem! A wonderful one it is!

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2017 at 7:05 PM this is so FUN. I love a poem like this, Freddie. NOPE, I don't have a problem with THAT!

Dale Gregory Cozart June 28, 2017 at 2:22 PM I can't see why you'd have a problem, this being 'hump day' and all. BA DOOP PSHHHHHHH!

Daniel Turner June 28, 2017 at 10:57 AM How easy it is to stereotype. Being different is never easy, Freddie. A deep poem written with the understanding of a wise man:)

Chris Green June 28, 2017 at 10:48 AM So was this camel a soft caramel color? My friend, you can bring your camel to my town any day, we have plenty of nice hats to chose from. Nicely fun and creatively crafted.

Heidi Sands June 28, 2017 at 9:49 AM No problem with that. This is a fun poem to vision the camel with a hat :)

Maria Williams June 28, 2017 at 9:41 AM I don't Freddie - but might you think the camel may be a tad embarrassed and eat his hat - Perhaps a soft suede brown one may be more to his liking - Funny - a Camel with a hat!!! love it - hope your camel does too...Maria
