	Would this be "Abdul de Bull Bulls Camels"? And did they come supplied with two housebricks? :-D :-D :-D :-D

This is not in my two small AND CHEAP poetry books (At 81 Forgive the plug) ABDUL'S CAMELS Abdul had seventeen racing camels, Which were worth their weight in gold; I'll give them to my children, As I'm getting very old. To the eldest he left half his stock, One third and a ninth for the other two; But part camels can no longer race, Ripe Arab curses flew. Old Abdul was a wise man, And borrowed one for a spare; Eighteen camels; nine is half, Six and two to the other pair. Nine plus six, then add two, That's seventeen camels once again; Hump the odd one back to the lender, All it needed was a brain. ----------------------------------------- Thank you for reading Happy days "I always wanted to be a poet, now I are one"
