Canary birds feed on sugar and seed, Parrots have crackers to crunch; And as for the poodles, they tell me the noodles Have chickens and cream for their lunch. But theres never a question About my digestion— Anything does for me! Cats, youre aware, can repose in a chair, Chickens can roost upon rails; Puppies are able to sleep in a stable, And oysters can slumber in pails. But no one supposes A poor Camel dozes— Any place does for me! Lambs are inclosed where its 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 its sandy— Anywhere does for me! People would laugh if you rode a giraffe Or mounted the back of an ox; Its nobodys habit to ride on a rabbit Or try to bestraddle a fox. But as for a Camel, hes Ridden by families— Any load does for me! A snake is as round as a hole in the ground, And weasels are wavy and sleek; And no alligator could ever be straighter Than lizards that live in a creek, But a Camels all lumpy And bumpy and humpy— Any shape does for me! —CHARLES EDWARD CARRYL.
