Rudolph the Brown Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph paled because his nose turned brown He couldn’t smile so he wore a frown Santa wiped a tear from the reindeer’s eye He hated to see poor Rudolph cry Santa sprinkled on some Christmas dust The nose is now red not a dark shade of rust So look out of your window on Christmas night You will see Rudolph’s red nose shining bright Jan Allison 6th December 2014

thanks for Santa comments, I liked Rudolph's nose rhyming couplets are a gteat vehicle fffffor messages. We seem to be on a similar wavelength, hugs returned Mike

Santa to the rescue, there is still the question of that motorbike. You didn't think Rudolph forgot did you?

Jan Allison
Date: 12/7/2014 5:13:00 AM

The motorbike is reserved for deliveries on the Isle of Man the home of the TT races - you can't blame Rudolph for wanting a bit of fun:-) Hugs Jan xx

I was just wondering how Rudolph got a brown nose? Maybe following Santa to close? I have an over active imagination. Loved the poem and you more!!
