I searched the earth from west to east
To find a most peculiar best.
'Twas then I saw a grand parade
of mammals God had custom made.
He gave to them the strongest name
For there's no other quite the same.
With two small aa's and double ll's
A llama neither talks nor spells.
An almost camel with no humps
Banana ears and regal rump.
They last for days without a drink,
Yet they don't wither, faint, or shrink.
They also like to advertise
When it is time to criticize.
For when they're mad and in a snit
They hum, and hiss, and even spit.
So many things I fetch and get
It's hard to know who is the pet.
One thing is clear for all to see
My llama's think that they own me.
