Answers
Answer:
he poem is written by Charles Edward Carryl. It is a complaint of a camel. First, it complains about the food given to it by comparing with others. Then, it complains about the place it sleeps. In the third stanza, it complains about the home given to it. It complains about people riding on it and at last it complains about its looks. This is the very nature of humans, we never learn to appreciate what we have but we will always keep complaining by comparing ourselves with others.
In the first stanza, it compares itself with Canary-birds, parrots and poodles as to what all given for eating and it says because it can digest anything, no particular diet is followed.
In the second stanza, it complains about its sleeping place. It compares itself with cats, chickens, puppies and oysters which have particular place to sleep but for camel any place is ok.
In the third stanza, it complains about the dwelling place. It compares itself with lamps, coops, kittens and pigs, all of which have a particular place to live but it has only sand as a dwelling place.
In the fourth stanza, it complains about how people use it as “beast of burden”. Any amount of weight can be heaped on its back or any amount of people can ride on it but no one rides on giraffe, ox, rabbit or fox.
In the last, it complains about its features. It says that it is all made of bumps and humps, whereas, the others like snake, weasels, alligator and lizards have sleek features.
