Role model
“What are you; cat, lion? ”
Father asked. As offense.
“Why are you like camel? ”
The mother frowned; said.
Pointing at women, juveniles.
Open-mouthed chewing gum.
One’s comment; in that bus:
“They are whores, female dogs.”
Camels are herbivores
Camels are ruminants.
They graze; always eat
In this way as are sheep.
Best of meals, cotton seed.
They chew; have huge lips
Always wet, foam drips.
Constantly they chew if
Must not be swallowed.
Now-a-day, everywhere
These actions are fashion
In this case camels are,
Our todays’ role-model.
