A Giant Turtle Rescue
By Regina Montana
One day in south Texas
the water turned frigid.
Our flippers felt frozen.
Sea Turtle Inc. put out the call:
Help needed. Come quickly!
Fishermen and boaters
Kids and parents scooped us up.
And drove us to buildings.
They put us in kiddie pools
Onto pallets and into crates.
Vets then examined us.
Thanks Doc, we feel great!
A vessel then took us 30 miles out
where the water was warmer.
We slid down a giant slide
Back home into the sea.
People of South Padre Island
Our flippers salute you.
We’ll never forget.
You’re heroes to us all.
