Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

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 September 14, 2016 at 1:13 AM Very good, but I'm wondering why the two humped camel has changed gender in the last line of the last verse. Richard Lamoureux September 14, 2016 at 8:10 AM Hi Keith I didn't express the camel's gender until the last line.

Peter Walsh August 10, 2016 at 10:42 AM I hear the camel is still attending therapy after reading this one Rich....we all need humour brother, good write!!! Richard Lamoureux September 14, 2016 at 8:10 AM Thanks Peter.

Funom Makama August 6, 2016 at 11:20 AM I just can't stop laughing. So creative in the soup of humour. Straight to my fav.

Timothy Hicks August 1, 2016 at 11:02 AM Hahaha ... silly, silly Richard. They must be something, if compared to a camel. You ever hear of that one joke ... "What do you call a three humped camel?" ......... "Pregnant!" ....
