Reindeer Blues

The sleigh was all packed and ready. Filled with the bags of toys. And Santa laughed as we lifted off, His ho ho ho's a joyful noise. We all flew behind Rudolph. His nose once again our light. And we began our yearly trip That fateful Christmas night. The wind rushed all around us. We struggled with our load. And I noticed it had been awhile Since Santa ho ho hoed. The clouds were growing thicker And things were looking grim. When suddenly I heard Vixen gasp And Rudolph's nose went dim. There was a crackle, then a spark That lit the entire sky. Then everything went dark And I knew we were going to die. Dancer yelled, Donner cried! I heard old Santa scream! And as gravity pulled us down I prayed it was just a dream... Insurance will cover the damage. In time the bones will heal. Santa bought a brand new sleigh. (He got a very good deal.) And we learned our lesson Tho' we jump now at every sneeze. Always take an emergency kit With spare bulbs and batteries. ‘Twas a dark and stormy night But we had no reason to fear. For we had Rudolph to light our way And good old Santa to steer. We never gave it a single thought That we'd weather the blust'ry snows. How were we ever to know That Rudolph would blow his nose?
