    CAMEL RIDE BLUES



     Aug 18, 2009


    I went to ride a camel;
    He was a beastly mammal.
    Yet, fearful was I,
    Not wanting to die.
    I went to ride a camel.

    He looked a monster to me.
    He being ugly, you see.
    Just how to climb on
    Not easily done.
    He looked a monster to me.


    He lying down on the ground,
    Now sitting easy, I found.
    No longer am cowed,
    Now feeling quite proud.
    He lying down on the ground.

    He then commenced to stand up.
    His bum, the first to rise up.
    Now feeling a fall,
    No time now to stall.
    He then commenced to stand up.

    Now head over heels, I went.
    Right over his head was sent.
    Onto the hot sand;
    Now trying to stand.
    Now head over heels, I went.

    I looked that beast in the eye.
    As mad as a hornet, I.
    I told him what for,
    To even the score.
    I looked that beast in the eye.

    Right back in my eye, he spit.
    Now really, I threw a fit.
    “Blelugh,” I cried out.
    And jumped all about.
    Right back in my eye, he spit.



    I washed the slime from my face;
    I really looked a disgrace.
    I gave him what for.
    This brute made me sore.
    I washed the slime from my face.


    I should be smarter than that.
    This beast can’t treat me like that..
    So walking away.
    Not going to stay.
    I should be smarter than that.

    LOL Tempest. I almost hate to tell you that I never did ride or even try to ride a camel. It was all imagination.

    Very good! So well written I could see you trying to ride the beast. If it wasn't real it seemed as though you did try to ride a camel in my mind.

    I have been on neither camel nor elephant, but a fun offering - almost in limerick style.

    Stryx, I've never been on a camel either. Somehow my imagination just kicked in. I don't want to ever ride a camel either. LOL

    This Poem is wonderful and fun. I have never ridden a camel but have been on two elephants.

    lol, I have never ridden on either. I just have a very good imagination. Thank you for your comment.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
