How far have you made me walk today. I mean I have really got the hump with all this freaking searing sand. There are blisters on my blisters.

I’m not in need of sustinance, but my legs are aching.

I see you, drinking from your fancy water bottle. Thirsty are we? How do you think I feel? Nobody cares about us camels. You complain we are uncomfortable, but your backsides are not light. I wouldn’t mind, you don’t even thank me when you rest.

Why didn’t you book an all inclusive instead? You wanted to, I heard your wife say so. If she said one more thing about the heat, I swear I was going to throw her and those stupid designer boots into the oasis she thought she saw.

That’s it, I’m on strike, you can crawl the rest of the way for all I care.

  8. Do you know the poem? “Can’t, won’t, shan’t, don’t, pass it along the line. Somebody’s pack has slipped from his back, wish it were only mine”.
