Rudolph_The_Flu_Nosed

Rudolph The FLu Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph was feeling a little bit under the weather

No matter what he did he just couldn't pull himself together

The other reindeers did not know what to do

They hoped he wasn't coming down with the flu

But there stood Rudolph looking pretty sick

So another leader is whom Santa needed to pick

Just incase Rudolph wasn't better in time to fly

Oh how that made all the other reindeers sigh

But poor Rudolph's nose was looking dull it wasn't bright red

And there he lay with a rag on top of his head

So they left Rudolph alone so he could get some rest

But you could tell the other reindeers were way to stressed

So Santa had to go down his list to see which reindeer he would choose

But he became just as stressed too because he had no idea which reindeer he should use

So he called out to the reindeers to look them over to see who would be the right one

But when they heard Santa yell each one of them did run

Rudolph laughed so hard when he saw them take off so fast

Finally he was able to make fun of them at last

When they heard Rudolph laughing they thought he was rather rude

But they couldn't say anything; if they did they would be screwed

So they told Rudolph they were happy and relieved to have him back

But not as relieved as Santa because he didn't want one of the other reindeers to have to lead the pack

Into the sleigh Santa jumped, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen were set to go

Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blizten were ready and eager to fly also

And in the very front there stood Rudolph so proud and so tall

For he knew he was the greatest reindeer of them all

And in spite of how the reindeers treated him in the past

Without him the sleigh ride wouldn't be such a blast

So high in to the sky Santa and the reindeers flew

Doing what it was they loved and enjoyed to do

And there was Rudolph smiling and singing all the way

Because he knew the children would be happy on Christmas Day

And that is what he and the other reindeers looked forward to

So next year they hope Rudolph doesn’t catch the flu!
