Poem of the Week: Adaptations

ADAPTATIONS
Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location
Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location

Fake pads on my feet better traction than a jeep
And another on my chest so I can rest
On the sizzling sands that fry like a pan
I’m crossing the Sahara in my caravan
I’m the legendary dromedary
400 pounds on my back in the dessert I carry
Nothing to drink until the next oasis
Water is fresh so we never waste it

Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location
Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location

Not a drop of rain, its arid extra dry
But I never get a grain of sand in my eye
If the wind blows, gyros, sand tornado
I got a better lids kid than J-Lo
Long and thick with a double lash
Close them fast, built to last
And the hump on my back got an extra tank
Like savings bank packed with my fat

The hump on my back is packed with fat
The hump on my back is packed with fat
The hump on my back is packed with fat
I won’t say it again, cause you know all that

Thick lips eat sticks and bone, thorny scrubs that others leave alone
Sometimes sip for the salty rind cause the H20 is hard to find
My shaggy fur insulates, my body temp regulates
So I don’t sweat and dehydrate, live another day to procreate

Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location
Adapt-Adapt-Adaptations
Changes in the body to fit a location
