A Poem in Honor of the Young At Heart Senior Super Save

A Baker’s Dozen Saved in Eleven

Of course, this tale of glad redemption needs a group with tax exemption.
Stepping in to play the part? A pet rescue called Young At Heart.

And so they organized a pull, at a shelter, cages full.
Off they drove with empty crates, determined to improve some fates.

The team of special volunteers walked down the hall, their mission clear:
Select a dozen dogs and cats to save their lives; how great is that?

Gazing from each furry face, two soulful eyes to plead their case,
“Help me find me a better place.” Those images won’t soon erase.

Oh, so many, sad but true. What’s one small rescue group to do?
No time to indulge regrets; let’s choose our homeless senior pets.

Among the cats and dogs galore, they picked out twelve and then one more.
Thirteen rescued; lucky, brave, in the Senior Super Save!
