Randolph the Reindeer

Randolph the Reindeer
Rudolph had an older brother
Randolph was his given name
But he didn't stand up for Rudolph
When they wouldn't let Rudolph play games

When Rudolph became popular
Everyone put Randolph down
The pressure proved to be too much
So Randolph had to leave town

There's not much for Reindeers out there
Randolph started drinking lots of beer
So much so that he became known
As Randolph the skid row Reindeer

Now let this be a lesson to you
If of your kin, someone disapproves
Stand by them and don't put them down
Unless you walk a mile in their hooves!
