Excerpt from The Cameliers To My Camel You're an ugly smellful creature: You're a blot upon the plain: I have seen Mohamed beat you, And it gave me little pain. You're spiteful and you're lazy, You'd send a white man crazy, But I reckon you're a daisy When the Turks come out again. Your head is most unsightly, And so is your humpy back; I hear you roaring nightly, When you're loading for the track. You're bow-legged and you're bandy, But in this desert sandy It's as well to have you handy: You're a mighty useful hack. You shake me something cruel When you try to do a trot; I've got to take my gruel, But you make it very hot: I've somehow got a notion That your humpty-dumpty motion Is worse than on the ocean, It's a nasty way you've got. It's a sun-scorched land, the East is, So we need you when we trek: My old prad a better beast is, But he'd soon become a wreck: You thirst a week unblinking, And when I see you drinking, You always set me thinking: Lord, I wish I had your neck.
