Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Camel Come, Camel Go

I am the "ship of the desert."
Do you know why I am called one?
Because my legs are on alert,
Each side to go in unison,
To move on land like ship at sea.
Two toed hooved feet and I can go
Any weather and terrain be,
Awesome traveller - doncha know!
Thirty miles per hour I cruise,
Can get me up to sixty if
There is a race I just can't lose,
Or have to get there in a jiff.

Okay slowpoke, I'm gonna pass.
You humans - too slow on the gas.
