THE CAMEL’S COMPLAINT
Canary-birds feed on sugar and seed,
Parrots have crackers to crunch;
And, as for the poodles, they tell me the noodles
Have chicken and cream fro their lunch.
But there is never a question
About my digestion –
Anything does for me!
…
Cats, you’re aware can repose to a chair,
Chickens can roast upon rails;
Puppies are able to sleep in a stable,
And oysters can slumber in pails.
But no one supposes
Apoor camel doses –
Any place does for me!
…
Lambs are inclosed where it’s never exposed,
Coops are constructed for hens;
Kittens are treated to houses well heated,
And pigs are protected by pens.
But a camel comes handy
Wherever it’s sandy –
Anywhere does for me!
…
People would laugh if you rode a giraffe,
Or mounted the back of an ox;
It’s nobody’s habit to ride on a rabit,
Or try to bestraddle a fox.
But as for a camel, he’s
Ridden by familes –
Any load does for me!
