The Last Straw
A camel in a wildlife park
Went on a wild attack;
He kicked and bit his owner
Then he sat down on his back.
I read this in The New York Times
So this was not in jest.
The reason for the rampage, though,
Is harder to digest.
It seems the camel loved to drink
A Coke, which he was given
By the owner, who forgot and so
To rage that beast was driven.
The message here is very clear –
If you’ve a pet with humps,
Don’t deprive him of his cola
Or prepare to take your lumps.
