Grief or gout

A certain Camel heard him shout--
A Camel with a hump.
"Oh, is it Grief, or is it Gout?
What is this bellowing about?"

-from The Pig-Tale, Lewis Carroll

One thing I learned about camels…they don’t care about their riders. Maybe they’re too busy chewing, or thinking about their next watering, or bothered by the load they’re carrying, but for whichever reason, don’t count on them to ask their rider, What hurts?, or, Why me?, or, When do we get there?
