Happy National Llama Day 2019 to all my favorite llamas and those who love them! And that’s quite a lot of love when you think about there being something like 150,000 llamas in the United States alone….
Llama Del Ray by Michael Romani There are 150,000 llamas in the United States It's hard to say how many are without dates But, it does seem just a bit more than strange That they don't seem to belong to this range What I do know is that Del Ray was nobody's camel Certainly not the run of the mill sort of mammal Always out for fun and good times never heavy drama But all the same she was the spitting image of a llama She would talk about her heritage and her people The Andean Mountains and Peruvian Incan steeples Figured deeply in her cameloid sensitive memory Though imbued with a singular flair, she loved her family She was never the kind to stop and get good sleep Except when she konked out on mountain ridges so steep That it took the wind right out of her every song Still this was just exactly where she did truly belong Dancing cheek to cheek only pausing to finally graze Lovely lady llama dreams along with her coquettish ways Always strutting her stuff in her fine woolen pajamas Llama Del Ray will long be remembered by all the llamas (c) December 9, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
