The Camel

"A camel is an animal which all of us should thank, 
if we were desert travellers far from a water tank"

This was dictated by my 95 year old mother, from her childhood in the 1930's. I am trying to find the rest of the poem, but my searches have come up blank!
If anyone knows this poem, I would love to hear from you.
