Rudolph - A Covid Christmas Carol

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
he says it's just allergies.
Olive, the other reindeer
thinks that it's a bad disease.

They think he's got the Covid
but he doesn't know it yet.
He's not asymptomatic.
He'll have to go and see the vet.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph with that nose so bright,
you're not getting near my sleigh tonight!"

So all the reindeer left him
to self-isolate you see.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
is now Christmas history!
