Daisy the Red Nosed Cow
This is the story of how Daisy the cow
Became one of Santa’s reindeer
Poor Rudolph was down with the flu
So Santa said “Daisy, come here”
“I’ll put a splash of red paint on your snout
And for one night you’ll be able to fly”
And sure enough, with a glowing red nose
Daisy shot up into the sky
Santa fashioned some antlers from branches
From a nearby fallen dead tree
“Well now Daisy, you’ve come up a treat,
No one will notice the difference” said he
Daisy was ever so nervous
At how the night might possibly go
Especially as the weather took a turn for the worse
And started to heavily snow
But Daisy needn’t have worried
As the night built a head up of steam
Delivering gifts to boys and girls
The night flew by like a dream
That is when Daisy awoke
In her field, that was just by a stream
Daisy realized with heavy heart
That it HAD all just been a dream
Come the time for milking
The farmer looked at Daisy and froze
“Daisy, what have you been up to?
Why have you got a red nose?”
Daisy of course did not answer
Inside she just secretly smiled
Knowing that she had, played her part
In bringing happiness to every child
And in the far off distance
She could hear some carollers singing
And every now again she caught on the wind
The sound of sleigh bells a ringing.
***MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE***
