Tide Pool Rule

When the children brought Rachel creatures
From the rocky Southport shore
Their Jars of tiny tipe pool features
Added up to so much more.

She called everything by the proper name;
Kids and invertebrates too.
She warmed with her knowledge, like a flame,
And we knew her facts were true.

And all the kids agree upon this;
She'd end each low tide talk: "Run!
Every creature has a place to miss.
Put it back before you're done."
