A very brave little deer
Had to fight today for dear life
When she fell through an icy pond
Hanging on the edge of a knife
Police say it happened Thursday morning in South Brunswick
She was spotted around 8:30 a.m. on the cracked ice floe
In front of the Dow Jones Corporation office on Route 1
Which is where authorities gathered to save the doe
No one knows exactly how it happened
How the little deer ended up there
Clinging helpless to the surface of the ice
Crying and shivering with wet hair
Plainsboro's ice rescue team assembled to save the day
With ropes and tools and a plan so bold
After they rescued her, Fire Chief George Luck did say
"She was exhausted and pretty cold"
The rescue took about 15 to 30 minutes
And the brave little deer was scared but okay
She was wrapped up in a tarp and blanket
So she could recover to play another day
.
When she's feeling a bit better, Luck said,
She'll be released back into the wild more sturdy
That's the story of the little doe who got stuck
In an icy pond in New Jersey
