Once upon a time,
In a faraway land,
There was a wee little man
Who traveled across sand.

This wee little man,
Like so many others,
Was quite a bigly fan
Of dromadery camels.

He watched them, he pet them, he rode them...
It was all just so enjoyable.
But this was not enough for one like him;
No. It was not enough at all.

For in his travels, the wee man found
That a legendary camel existed,
In an even more distant land;
A camel extraordinarily exquisite.

He had heard so much, but knew so little.
The wee man was at an impasse.
The search for knowledge was all but fickle...
Still, through the unknown he must pass.

He read many books,
He searched through scrolls,
He explored nooks,
And questioned trolls.

Alas, not many answers
Could be gained
For all the questions
He had attained.

The wee little man, all he could find,
Was a peculiar lemony connection.
And although he was still in a bind,
At least he found some direction.

The ancients said the camel was glorious,
Smart and gentle, unlike any other.
Still finding more was quite laborious,
Yet, for him, it was no bother.

Then one day, he finally found it!
The missing piece to his life's puzzle.
Oh, the conclusions were all but splendid,
Found on a tablet among ancient rubble.

It was the Lemon Camel,
For centuries elusive.
An exceptional animal,
Of lemony goodness.

It smells of lemons,
Lemons are its hump,
It even sits on lemons,
With its bottom so plump.

One thing after another, the tablet explained,
That made the Lemon Camel seem like the greatest.
Only a single matter, after all remained:
Where one must go to end such a quest.

The only thing said that might give a hint
Was that it roamed free, by water surrounded,
And laid down to rest under palm tree tint
Which leads one to think of a tropical island.

As such, the wee man, went out to explore
Out far and out wide, away from the sand.
T'was not much to go on, but it was no bore
Scouring the ocean for The Great Lemon Island.

T'was not meant to be
For the wee little man
As unfortunately he
Was not heard from again.

But maybe one day
Someone will be able
To return and say
They've found the Lemon Camel!
