Tales from Iraq
Some camels have spiders
that assault their riders,
or so come the tales from Iraq.
They’re known to eat horses
in multiple courses
and carry them home on their backs.
They’ll chase down a Humvee
while screaming like banshees,
with armor resistant to flack.
With vertical jumps,
they can launch from both humps
in two-fold arachnid attacks.
I know that it’s tricky
when reading a wiki
to separate fable from fact,
but if all this is true
and one came into view,
I’d flat-line from a cardiac.
