Bartolome and Santiago Islands

“Galápagos” word competition winner and runner-ups!

The Winner!:

Galapagos the island free
All teeming with animals for you and me
Land iguanas and marine
All animals are sharp and keen
Penguins live here all year long
And you can hear their charming song
Galloping galoshes, there’s a sound!
Oh my flamingos, all around.
So that is it, Galápagos.
(Maya Von Zeigaser, age 9)
