To a Camel

To a two humped camel
She must seem really odd
For her humps are both displaced
on the front of her strange bod

They must throw her off balance
as she walks on just two feet
They're sure to get in the way
Whenever she try's to eat

It also seems distracting
As she goes about her day
They're bouncing bouncing bouncing
In a most peculiar way

Why are those fellows drooling
As they watch her walking by
I'm sure the two humped camel
He must be wondering why

Keith Logan Date: 9/14/2016 1:13:00 AM Very good, but I'm wondering why the two humped camel has changed gender in the last line of the last verse. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 9/14/2016 8:10:00 AM Hi Keith I didn't express the camel's gender until the last line.
