Camels on the Motorway 2017
by Angela Lansbury
Two camels are out on the motorway
You often see one which runs the wrong way
Today, not running, but cause much delay
Today two are mating, what can you say?
A racing camel, three times a winner
Is not what the owner wants for his dinner
He wants to keep it, it isn't for sale
But it disappears - seeking a female
Morning, evening, even hot afternoon
It scents a female, hid beyond that dune
He's randy, and racing, a headstrong chap
But when he has done? I guess he'll come back
For camels, sex is a dangerous game
They could break legs, not two but four!
Get travel insurance, fill out a claim
"Leg broken while mating, can't prove who's to blame ..."
But back to our two on the motorway
You can judge by the grunting, a day of delight
Our drivers tuts, "They should stay out of sight
Over the dune in the dark of the night."
Imagine they're paired on a dating site
Ask a female camel what type she likes?
She likes 'adventure', and 'the outdoors'
'A camel who's keen' is the kind which excites
Ask macho males to mark forms with his hoof
He doesn't want 'the kind who's aloof'
Likes: 'a dune', 'a motorway', 'any place'. Many!
A motorway? Now we've seen the proof!
