Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the stable,

Not a reindeer was stirring upsetting Old Santa's timetable!
 
Sitting on their haunches were Donner, Comet, Cupid and Prancer,

And joining them in a snit were Dasher, Vixen, Blitzer and Dancer!

Rudy, that prima donna, relaxed in his stall, well out of sight,

Preening and shining his nose, preparing to lead tonight's flight.

'Twas well-known that Rudy was Santa's pet of all the reindeer,

Since he was seen by the others schmoozing with Santa all thro' the year.

Hence, he was known as Rudolph the Brown Noser by his envious peers,

Instead of Rudolph the Red Noser which was time-honored in past years.

Since early July the sprites had worked overtime out-doing themselves;

Alas, Santa's sleigh sat idle full of goodies loaded by hard-driven elves.

The cantankerous deer allowed there was no settlement yet near,

So said Santa, "Get this show on the road! Rudy will lead the herd this year!"

Santa set up a system to draw straws as leader for all subsequent Yules,

And if this didn't work, he threatened to replace them with a span of mules!
