Rudolph the reindeer has a red nose Now why is that do you suppose? Well it’s not real, it is a red light That Santa switches on at night. So what's the history I hear you say Well concerns were raised by the F.A.A. Because one night Santa fell asleep And didn't hear the warning beep. A jet was heading for Santa's sleigh Woke just in time and got out of the way So a law was passed that anyone in flight Display a light when flying at night. In the official report that's what it said But don't believe the news you're fed The first witness and on oath he swore Said a man so drunk he'd never seen before. They let him off with a stern warning And not to drink 'till Christmas morning He kept his license on one condition That he display a light on every mission. Off shopping he went to buy a red light Found one in a store 'twas big and bright Spoke to the elves as to where it would go They all agreed at the front on show. They tried it first on Rudolph's head But it dazzled Santa with its bright red But on his nose it looked just right And glows so brightly in the night. Rudolph asked “what's in it for me" Cos he felt silly, but would wear for a fee So a bonus he gets and double pay Plus extra rations on Christmas day. Written on 6th December 2018.
