Rudolph Was WHAT?A Poem by Bob BDid you happen to notice That last year Santa's sleigh Was missing an important Figure, by the way?
Let's see: Comet and Vixen Along with Cupid and Prancer Were there, and so were Donner, Dasher, Blitzen, and Dancer.
Which reindeer was missing? Rudolph? Ah, you guessed it. The news was out there, but The media had suppressed it.
(Because of frequent fog, Santa was being sensible In counting on dear Rudolph, Who had become indispensable.)
It all started like this: On the morning of Christmas Eve, Rudolph was tired from having Been on the qui vive
For sneaky present robbers All the previous night. By noon, poor ol' Rudolph Looked a sorry sight.
To perk himself up a bit-- The "where" is still unclear-- He dipped into a little Too much Christmas "cheer."
Now I don't know about you, But Rudolph's nose would flicker Whenever he drank wine Or any other liquor.
When the team of reindeer Lined up, Santa could tell That sleigh-guiding Rudolph Wasn't doing so well.
Needless to say, Santa Really got a whiff When he approached his friend And took a little sniff.
"I can tell, dear Rudolph, That you've been making merry. Did you turn your eggnog Into a Tom and Jerry?"
"I think--hiccup!--a little," Said Rudolph with a blush. "Go to bed," said Santa. "We are in a rush."
That night Santa was forced-- Although he felt remorseful-- To use toys with lights To guide him. How resourceful!
So last year if the batteries To your toys were run down, Causing disappointment And many a tear and frown,
Don't feel so sad. They went to a good cause: They helped to distribute Gifts from Santa Claus.
Regarding this year, I Don't want to keep you guessin': Rudolph's back in service. I think he learned his lesson.
But some say Santa's considering-- Despite objections and moans-- Future gift deliveries With the use of Amazon's drones.
