Caring for llamas and camels

Oh, don't ever mock a llama,
no don't ever make one cry.
For they're much inclined to drama
and the foolish beast may die.
When you stand before St Peter,
when you wait before his gate,
if you are a llama harmer
don't expect a happy fate.

And the same thing goes for camels
and for dromedaries too.
For all the creatures that are classed
as ungulates in the zoo.

Don't go creeping up behind
to give their back a hefty thump
(having always on your mind
the thought to make the poor beast jump),
for such a cruel whack
may quite distress the hapless mammal,
thus bringing on a heart attack
and leaving you 'sans camel'.

And later, in the dead of night,
as in your bed you lie,
you may perceive a ghastly light,
may hear an eerie cry.
Yes you may see, beside your bed,
there in the ghostly gloom,
a camel risen from the dead
to haunt you in your room.
