Rudolph's Leg is Broke

santa’s in a fix rudolph’s leg is snapped
tripped on a candy cane now the poor guy’s trapped
mrs claus is fuming elves are losing their cool
one slipped on tinsel and fell in the gift pool

how will they deliver the toys in the night
without rudolph’s bright nose guiding their flight
but then an elf shouts hey we’ve got a plan
we’ll strap some flashlights to dasher and stan

the sleigh takes off wobbling like a kite
with duct tape holding things way too tight
but somehow they manage gifts tossed left and right
merry christmas to all from this chaotic flight
