12/12/2024 for Christmas Tizzy 12 lines or less Poetry Contest

It was December twenty-fourth when Rudolf went on a bender. This red-nosed hero from the north, a lousy driver, drink did render. He went out on a tear and rammed into Blitzen's fender. Santa was in despair Rudy broke his leg, needed a public defender. Rudolf's gal said she'd guide the sleigh, though she was another gender. Now, Saint Nick was on his way, when Rudolf, he did lend her.

Rudolf's drunken state the night before his biggest job of the year, well should have never happen. I am glad his gf stepped up. Congrats on your win in my contest.

Thanks, David. I'm glad there were only three verses. I think I ran out of words rhyming with bender - :-)
