Did 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.
