Yemen Style

The once powerful and historical country of Yemen is no longer viable.  Riddled with disease, famine, tribal unrest, religious infighting, and political chaos, life seems to limp along through sport, tradition and kaht.

I can go without water
for a starter,
to survive the harshest heat;
 from my happy humps
and crazy cells,
to one amazing nose.
When no oasis is avail
my mother’s milk will prevail.
I run like the wind,
atop spindly limbs and bulky hooves,
to create my brand and groove.
I’m not pretty; unsightly really,
I’ve a loud irritating bay for a voice,
 big yellow teeth when I smile,
and spit cause I can.
I’ve a stubborn streak,
and smell real bad.
But guess what?  I’m also loved,
 totally needed,
and royally treated.
