An Important Dude
Once there was a reindeer,
that lived far away,
with a jolly old man,
and elves they say.
Not quiet as big,
as the other reindeer,
and when he walked by,
all the others would sneer.
He wanted to be,
an important dude,
so they would be nice,
and stop being so rude.
His mother told him,
be brave little one,
you are the baby of the bunch,
and my only deer son.
The day will come,
just mark my word,
you will fly through the sky,
like a bird.
Then it happened,
a freak snow storm,
something very unusual,
really out of the norm.
Climate change,
one deer yelled out loud,
as the fog got heavy,
covering the crowd.
The jolly man shreaked,
it's Christmas Eve,
we must get going,
it is time to leave.
Mamma's little boy,
was hiding, and crying near by,
and all the other deer,
said, "cry baby cry."
Embarrased, and hurt,
blushing from head to toe,
his big black nose,
started to glow.
The jolly man could see,
right through the haze,
with only the light,
that bright nose gave.
From then on out,
the jolly man made him boss,
for without his red nose,
the sleigh would get lost....
