the Camel

camel  
   
C-A-M-E-L  
   
...  
   
   
... (?)  
   
   
...  
   
   
Why?  
   
I don't know, cause they're cool ! . ?  
   
   
   
his favorite animal is a camel  
and he doesn't know why  
but i do  
   
i think its where he gets  
his inspiration for life  
and how he lives it  
   
you see camels have these humps  
on their backs that can store water  
and they can go days, weeks, months, I have even heard years  
without replenishing  
crossing dry, barren deserts  
carrying cargo, people  
   
i didn't know camels wore graphic t-shirts,  
crocs and cargo shorts  
but he is a camel  
tall and lanky    
takes in tons and never gains a pound  
 (i hate camels)  
   
a camel exists in the Arabian world  
is in love with a Middle-Eastern girl  
and they even have a miracle of that descent  
   
He IS A Camel!  
because the two humps on his back  
are hope and inspiration    
and with just a little in the tank  
he will cross a world of deserts    
and bring you back a treasure chest full of dreams  
   
but he enjoys simplicity ...  
well not really, actually  
not at all  
he takes things way overboard    
and carries far to much cargo  
but he crosses the desert anyway  
   
i didn't know camels were such good teachers  
   
didn't know they made such good friends
