Gimme A Camel Poem by Pete Crowther

If I had the room
And the money to spend,
I'd buy a white camel
And call it 'My friend'

For the camel is an animal
With bags of attitude,
Sometimes supercilious,
And sometimes rather rude.

Yet I really do admire
Its independent air
And however long the journey,
It will always get you there'

So on my camel's back
I'd sit up tall and proud
For he who rides a camel
Stands out in any crowd.

And every weekday morning
To work I would commute
And for rising petrol prices,
I wouldn't give a hoot.

So should you see a camel
On E-bay up for sale,
Just give me a buzz old matey -
And I'll be on its trail!
