Roudolph's Broken Leg

Roudolph the red nosed reindeer
had a very broken leg
and if you ever saw it
you would say it made you beg

What would Santa do now?
with his lead reindeer in a full leg cast
would he be able to deliver
all the world gifts very fast?

Then the answer came to him, 
as a way to carry on the glee
for all the reindeer to wear a headlamp
and they all went down in history

I like how you could sing the first stanza to the children's song Roudolph! All the reindeer wearing a headlamp was just genius in the first place. Congrats on your win in my contest.
