Camel Talk Poem by Ima Ryma

Two camels are talking one day.
Son asks, 'Why these huge feet - 3 toed? '
'To walk in soft sand, ' Mom does say.
'These big long eyelashes - why growed? '
'To keep the sand out of your eyes, '
'That in the desert ever blows.'
'And on my back, why do humps rise? '
'Because most time a camel goes'
'For long treks in the desert sun.'
'The humps store water for such trips, '
'Cuz drinking oft cannot be done.'
Son replies, 'Thanks Mom for these tips.'

'But if all that you say is true, '
'Why are we here in London Zoo? '
