Camels

Grand majestic animals,
They stalk through the dessert,
They tramp through the streets,
They bound through the underbrush.
Anywhere, you can find them.
Golden brown fur,
They chew in a rhythmic circle,
So different from all other animals.
Tall with knobby knees.
Like a horse, but with humps.
They aren’t like other species.
Find them in Africa, Find them in India.
Do you find any other animal everywhere?
Camels are different.
Camels are special.
Camels are camels.
