Tea-Drinking Camels
The camel, when drinking of tea,
Takes sugar proportionately.
For each of its humps
It drops twenty lumps;
But more, if it’s sailing by sea.

leading doctors smoke Camels
All of the leading doctors recommend Camels.
Well, dang it, if Camels are good enough for the leading doctors
I had better smoke myself some Camels!
Were we this gullible back in the day?
Yes.

Humps of Camels Upside Down
The sky turns grey and a bird sings a song.
Sun is hiding truth and lies;right and wrong.
Clouds drift into shapes imagination does create.
A butterfly smiles knowing the caterpillar’s fate.
The branches of a tall tree wave goodbye.
A nest feels safe for the bird learning to fly.
Moments unwrapped like a gift to treasure

Of Camels and Straws
* The saddest guise of abuse is that the abused often believe it’s their fault, or that they are unworthy of anything better. *
~
flakes fell …
wafting gently forth-and-back
to sew invisible seams that
joined night sky with a soft, white
blanket covering the ground …
the heavy snowfall was
lit up like a wedge of

Three Camels and a Whore
Three camels and
A whore
Worked the desert
In the heat of the midday sun
Tanned and sinewy
Plying their trade
Sleeping in
the chill when done
Transporting goods
Or transporting men
To them it was all the same
Never looking for more
Than the minimum wage
For something,or someone
To blame
Taking it all upon themselves
the weight of the world as a song
Carrying the sins or the

His time was growing short,
So the old man drew up his will.
“I leave half my herd to my eldest son, whom I love.
I then leave a third of my herd to my second son,
Whom I also love.
To my youngest son, who

Never complain
Totally restrained
Free to roam but committed, you see

Cigarette Smoking Camels-
sand dunes sunshiny
as young fierce camels smoking
unlit cigarettes

while storing water in their
humps, inhales puff-puff

Words To Live By
Follow your camels to the desert
Take a right turn at the next stop sign
Eat vanilla yogurt with strawberries
Get your digestive system right...now!
Count your blessings except the last one
Have sex within your species
Avoid complications in breeding
Shop at markets that are open
Eat at Joe's if you have money
Eat donuts with holes
Make sure the middle remains
