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

Very good, but I'm wondering why the two humped camel has changed gender in the last line of the last verse.

Hi Keith I didn't express the camel's gender until the last line.

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!" ....
