Hump day
Camel has got the hump;
and is taking it in turns,
its heavy hooves to thump.
It didn’t realise it was Wednesday,
until it was half-way gone,
and was unable to enjoy the fact,
as the hump day sun it shone.
Now it’s almost Thursday,
I told the camel so
which may not help to soothe the hurt;
but, perhaps its rage will go.
And, if it does,
not a moment too soon,
I’s have to say,
as its eaten my hat and shirt,
a picnic, a hedge, part of a yurt
and two fresh bales of hay.
