Poem
‘Twas the night before Christmas with peace all around Reindeers were sleeping there wasn’t a sound When all of a sudden a shriek could be heard Rudolph was cursing, with shocking swear words Dear Rudolph was always the perfect gent But using profanities; such anger did vent Nothing would rile him; get under his skin So calm and collected, they all said of him So what had happened to cause this explosion An inward collapse; an outward implosion Slowly the reindeers began to awaken to such profanities never heard before In their boots they were waiting, all of them quaking For the only occurrence to instill such behavior if someone had changed Rudolph’s precious screensaver Rudolph appeared his face was bright puce They tried to console him but it was no use For only one thing could now pacify him Apart from a whisky or a tonic and gin To give him ‘Dutch courage’ for his journey each year Removing all panic, all nerves and all fear Poor Rudolph was scared stiff of heights As he flew round the world on Christmas nights He could never look down, so sure he would fall leaving all the world’s children with no presents at all So to watch his screensaver whilst flying above Was his only salvation for this labour of love They turned all the knobs; unplugged from the wall But nothing resolved, it was no help at all The only solution was to make one last call Or the kids of the world would all start to bawl So on this magical Christmassy night look skywards to see a celebratory sight For sat astride Rudolph the cream of the crop our beloved ET in his new Christmas top With Rudolph now cured of his great fear of heights Escorted by ET on all Christmas flights 24th November 2018 Competition: The night before Sponsor: Joseph May 3rd placement Contest Strand Choice R Sponsor Brian Strand N/A
