His Nose Glowed Bright Red

His nose glowed bright red


One evening while Santa was strolling
And empty wine bottle came rolling
It bounced off his toe
Got stuck in the snow
His patience no good at controlling

Then snuck up and caught Rudolph drinking
He staggered about slowly sinking
His nose glowed bright red
It’s then Santa said
“No wonder the damn thing is blinking”
