Rudolph

Rudolph told Santa he was going on strike
He wanted a brand new motorbike
No way was he pulling Santa’s sled
Christmas is cancelled – Rudolph’s staying in bed!

I see...it's mutiny on the Sleigh! But I suppose he's got his union's backing! Like your humour, Jan. hugs // paul

We did without Rudolph when I was a kid - 75 years ago, we can survive without that traitorous beast! Gene Autry's dead, won't know the difference. Great humor. LOve, daver

Hi Jan, This one would most likely win the contest. (I can see where you might have a dilemma, as you suggested, on which one to enter.) Great poem. Take care. Earl

well, I will see this one since I know it is not for the contest. this is really cute, jan. Do keep in mind that it is better to put the name of the character at the end of line one. I am sure you probably did that in your contest entry!!
