The Camel

Shush ...did you hear Last evening a huge camel With an orange coloured neck Managed to enter my silent room Where no broom had worked for a long time The doors and windows Had been kept closed Declining all inclined wind The long neck was in two minds To do or not to do The plenty of lonely food Ready to connive with renewed fervor Emboldened the animal to lodge indefinitely Shush ... did you ever hear The camel emptied the canopy Of all the clouds The volcano kept the lava flowing on Flattening all my cups and cones Doctors said the camel must be expelled In painting with the blues the camel excelled The poetry you wrote in my notebook Now teems with the camels

Did the camel have one or two humps. Enjoyed my friend. Glad to see you have not deserted us and taken the hump. Never met a camel though with climate change chances are becoming more likely, so had better read up on how to catch one. What colour attracts them. Have a great week. Best regards David in NZ

Haha ... Who deserts whom is a complicated thought ... Thank you for reading The Camel literally ... It is actually a common metaphor ... The suggestion focuses on mental blues ...
