Notes About The Poem

Preconceptions.... we must be aware

Camel Tow

Camel Tow
By Franklin Price
12/20/2016

Have I gotten your attention?
I have a story here to tell,
About a different camel tow;
Bet you thought I couldn't spell.

I was driving through the desert,
In a clunker called a car,
Wasn't long, it overheated,
I hadn't gotten very far.

The temperature was 105,
Glad my cell phone had four bars.
Googled for a wrecker;
One for towing broken cars.

Called the listed number,
Was Saudi Arabia you should know.
No wrecker was available
So they sent a camel tow.

If you had another thought
When you began to read this bite
I hope you found it humorous
When you found you were not right

I'm glad you said that. The hump holds water so, in the end, the camel just refilled the radiator...not! Thanks for visiting and enjoying.

Yes Franklin, I found it very humorous. I guess down deep, I'm just a dirty old man:)

Thanks for visiting again and for finding this poem humorous; as it was meant. I think I already knew you were a dirty old man. That's why you can't resist commenting on another dirty old man's work. Thanks again LOL
