The Clever Camel by Dave FitzgeraldThere was a clever camel
Who was down in the dumps.
He only had three good legs,
The fourth one was a stump.
It was a disability
That made it hard to jump,
But he'd one thing going for him,
He had an extra hump!
He had up there a wooden leg
Hidden in that lump,
Which that crafty camel
Would fit upon his stump.
He could be heard from miles away
Because his leg would clump.
So he found a nice soft slipper
To dampen down the thump. 11/30/2007
Author's Note: And I return to the inane.

Posted by A. Paige White on 11/30/07 at 02:28 PM I love this! I would LOVE to read it to my grandson if I had some cutesie illustrations (he's only three, so pictures are a must, lol) and of course the slipper would have to be something significant to him... sure wish I were a better sketcher, I'd fix it up myself for him. My pick for POTD. *_* |
