Rudolph's Nose Turned Red

Soon Santa will be flying in his bright red sleigh
If he can find his reindeer, who have gone astray
They were seen cavorting
Partying and snorting
In Bombay while celebrating Rudolph's birthday!

Santa was livid. No 'HO HO HO," to exclaim
He shouted, "I will end their naughty reindeer game!"
They knew they had been busted
Cuz Santa looked disgusted
Rudolph blushed from hoof to his nose in horrid shame

That's how Rudolph's nose turned red: a true story
Children's hero in lore and allegory
He'll go down in history
In a song, jolly with glee
But he's corraled in North Pole territory

Jenna, a great set of fun limericks, the mystery of Rudolph's nose is solved! :)

Is it a viable explanation? lol Probably as silly as a reindeer actually having a red nose. Thanks for leaving your kind cheer, Tania.

Love the Lims Jenna, I didn’t know till now how Rudolph got his red nose, if his hoof had stayed red he could have been “Rudolph the red hoofed reindeer.” Best wishes for the contest... Belle

lol Or totally red! That would've made him a standout for sure! Children could see him coming from quite a distance. Thanks for the laugh and for your cute comments, Belle.
