This creature is the dromedary,
A kind of swaying dry-land ferry;
That single hump upon his back
Has laid him wide lor quip and crack.
He does not choose to crack or quip,
But chews instead upon his lip.
Zoologically no bloomin’ ant,
He is a rheumy ruminant.
I think it’s cute the way he rates
On dates…
