RUDOLPH'S BROKEN LEG

It’s Christmas Eve in Lapland
And there’s been a last minute disaster.
The sleigh is packed and ready to go
And Rudolph’s leg is in plaster.

He tripped and broke a couple of bones,
In his leg, just above his hoof.
Which would make for precarious landing
On a slippery, snow covered roof.

So Prancer has been promoted
And will lead the herd instead.
And, because his nose isn’t shiny,
He’s an LED light on his head.

Great flow and good on you for rhyming every other line. I am glad that Prancer was the one promoted and got an LED for his head. That was genius. Congrats on your win in my contest.
