The Camel

The camel can retain much fluid
But this I bet you knew
If you were to join him for a drink
Would he ask one hump or two

Premium Member Kit the Camel

I had a camel named Kit.
It was smart, but liked to spit.
	I asked for a kiss.
	It gave me a hiss.
It did not want to kiss one bit!

Premium Member 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.

Camel Travel

There was an old camel from Bahrain
who sought adventures far off in Spain.
He made plans to sightsee
and ordered cups of tea
then danced the flamenco on the plane.

Another day and I'm still riding my camel Get there eventually avoiding life's hassles Slow but sure Avoid detours Some temptations and your ideals get trampled

Premium Member A Camel In Egypt With Mumps

There was a camel in Egypt with mumps
That infected his humps with huge lumps
   The vet shook his head
   Said, "You're better off dead"--
After finding some new lumps in his rump

He was a beautiful being and The sign warned: “Do not stand too Close; that camel will spit on you”. I looked him right in the Eye, noticing how Gently soft they Were and he Didn’t Spit.

A Camel

A CAMEL

Will one add more loads to the ship,  
Considering the calm water?
I am not a camel 
That always carries people 
From here to there,
 From there to here,
 Now and then,
And the only “thanks” it receives is
“Carry me again!”

Premium Member Camel Ride In Cabo

Visualize Mexico’s Baja Peninsula
Let’s take a camel safari in Cabo San Lucas
We will hop on a hump
Might see pods of dolphins and whales
While we are on our leisurely stroll
for camels do not run, they walk.
Giving us more time to enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean

Paul's Camel Tahli

Paul's camel Tahli loved  Dr. Oetker
                            Mugged for the camera of  Baker
                                   And went out for a date
                                With Oetker's daughter Kate
                          He was out of date as a love maker

The Camel Threads

No off position
on the genius switch

No light
to then burn out

No cracks to form
on Leonardo’s bronze

No Frazier Ali
rout

The expectations
stretch beyond

What humanity
can span

The eye of the needle,
the camel threads

What always could
—still can

The Camel

"A camel is an animal which all of us should thank, 
if we were desert travellers far from a water tank"

This was dictated by my 95 year old mother, from her childhood in the 1930's. I am trying to find the rest of the poem, but my searches have come up blank!
If anyone knows this poem, I would love to hear from you.

Camel Calls, She Saw Hee Haw

....My *itch ?
Now, whether you believe
It or not ? Your ass is mine how ironic
Peter piper this ancient viper: playing it's hand
Spinning numbers in a foreign land ? Iconic super phonic 
Hypnotized mesmerized robotic time on a mission from prince pillar
Their cyber space thriller blowing out these candles is everybody, here ?
Rent the tent her species his flee shes kong's balls inside love's stall a donkey.

Taking My Camel To Town


I’m taking my camel to town,
do you got a problem with that?
I’m gonna get him some fresh water
and clean provender
What cha say,
they don’t sell to his kind?!
He’s the finest mottled brown,
this side of the Sahara desert sand
This camel got the blackest spots
	        mixed in
Proof that the sun
	calls him his friend
While I’m in town,
I’m gonna buy my beautiful animal
a white straw hat
Do you have a problem with that?

OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE GLITTERING SAND

We travel through the sand dunes,
And look for oases,
At nights we see the moon,
And in the day-time- Look for roses.

The weather so hot and cold,
With sand below glittering in the sun like Gold,
We feel the hot sunshine,
And for a drop of cool water-We pine!

Our camels look for a shelter,
And our skin sweat like being next to a heater,
Yet we carry hope and move on,
And that hope and our thirst to reach our goal makes all our pains gone.

Premium Member If I Had a Camel

If I had a camel
a nice dromedary
there'd be all sorts of things
my camel could carry

A big bag of sugar
up there on his humps
to put in my coffee
just one or two lumps

If I had a camel
we’d go on long hikes
We’d stroll through the forest
or maybe ride bikes

If I had a camel
I’d have a big sack
of sunflower seeds
right there on his back

Then we could both chew them
and spit out the shell
If I had a camel, 
man, that would be swell

Premium Member Camel Tracks

Camels do bite and even spit but for desert travel nothing as equipped
They lie upon the ground and you set astride, up they go and you're riding high
A saddle with a blanket for your bottom, handlebars for hands
 bouncing, bouncing upon the sands 
Stop at an oasis relish the shade, for this journey camels are made
They kneel for you to get down and as your feet touch the ground
You hope the camel knows it's way back
since the wind swept away his camel tracks

Premium Member 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

Camel Eye

4 the super rich, the bullys fate, what's in store, 4 the hogs debate, very true Harry mate, but will they slip through the, camels needle eye gate, when judgement comes, true blue, when money wont suck you through, a pain in the ole prostate, get it gone the ill gotten dues, how do it go "the rich have more chance, of slipping a camel through the eye of a needle, than entering the kingdom of heaven" ?
