But no one supposes A poor camel dozes— Any place does for met Lambs are inclosed where it's never exposed, Coops are constructed for hens; Kittens are treated to houses well heated, And pigs are protected by pens. But a camel comes bar Wherever it’s sandy- Anywhere does for met People would laugh if you rode a giraffe, d the back of an ox; habit to ride on a rabbi Or try to bestraddle a fox But as for a camel, he's Ridden by families— Any load does for me!
