The Camel

There once was a camel who hated dry land,
He couldn’t stand all the drifting of sand,
It would give him the hump
And he’d call it a dump,
And go swim off the shores of Ireland.

I wrote my limerick, The Camel, in response to Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #276 The prompt is to take inspiration from this photograph from Getty Images on Unsplash.
