"Canary-birds feed on sugar and seed,
Parrots
have crackers to crunch;
And as for the poodles, they tell me the noodles
Have
chickens and cream for their lunch.
But there's
never a question
About MY
digestion
ANYTHING
does for me!
"Cats, you're aware, can repose in a chair,
Chickens
can roost upon rails;
Puppies are
able to sleep in a stable,
And oysters
can slumber in pails.
But no one
supposes
A poor
Camel dozes
ANy PLACE
does for me!
"Lambs are enclosed 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 handy
Wherever
it's sandy
ANYWHERE
does for me!
"People would laugh if you rode a giraffe,
Or mounted
the back of an ox;
It's
nobody's habit to ride on a rabbit,
Or try to
bestraddle a fox.
But as for
a Camel, he's
Ridden by
families
ANy LOAD
does for me!
"A snake is as round as a hole in the ground;
Weasels are
wavy and sleek;
And no
alligator could ever be straighter
Than
lizards that live in a creek.
ANY SHAPE does for me!"
