Notes About The Poem

Reindeer Folly

There was once a slaphappy reindeer
Who loved whisky, tequila and beer
She hitched up with a moose
When befuddled by booze 
Now she’s starting a mother’s career.

Another winner from your very talented and prolific quill, Paul -great luck in the contest. Re the Blind Judge write. I served as a Bailiff for about 10 years after retiring from the USAF.

When visiting a friend in New Hampshire, we arrived at her house and I asked her when she had gotten the donkeys. LOL Had never seen a moose before then. Trying to imagine the moose/reindeer love child.
