Yukon Vet - Favorite Tv Show

D  Doctor Michelle Oakley, Yukon Vet
O  On Nat Geo, best animal show yet,
C  can bring the thrills of taking care of tamed
T  to wild species, with her strength and famed
O  operations handling moose and yaks,
R  red foxes, musk-oxen, huge elk with racks.

M  Michelle, a rugged lady, there on call,
I   in helping animals both large and small,
C  can teach an injured hawk to fly once more
H  healing wings so one day it can soar.
E  Even ailing porcupines get cured.
L  Linx, when spotted ill, are gently lured
L  letting her perform her healing skills
E  ensuring we who watch enjoy the thrills.

O  Often she helps out a local zoo,
A  and mountain goats, mule deer, and caribou
K  keep her busy if they're hurt or when
L  land in danger birthing, because then
E  every newborn life is nature's prize. 
Y  Yearly vaccines often can comprise

Y  yielding into schemes to bring them close,
U  upon which she will shoot a dart with dose,
K  kindly making sure it hits the spot;
O  often quite involved to give a shot.
N  Nothing more exciting than to see 

V  vast Yukon plains with creatures wild and free,
E  entrapped when needed, by a blowgun dart
T  to be repaired by this vet's healing art.
