Notes About The Poem

The Reindeer Dilemma

Rudolph did not like his bright red nose
And how everyone told him it glows
He then painted it blue
Didn't realize with glue
Washed it with snow, now it's stuck and froze

Dasher wanted to be in the lead
And was the fastest to do the deed
But he couldn't fly, only prance
And his moves were like a dance
knew he could not fly the sleigh with speed

Prancer had a tiny pink sparkly nose
Liked to flirt, keeping the boys on their toes
She loved to just mingle
While singing her jingle
And romancing the herd with her sweet show

Dancer had a big chip on his shoulder
Mad that Dasher had moves that could smolder
Dancer could really dance
If he was given a chance
But Dasher's moves were flashy and bolder

Comet was a foolish and friendly deer
Who loved to have a full belly of beer
But he wasn't very bright
And his nose had no light
He was too sauced to be able to steer

Cupid was young, beautiful and sprite
Had a huge fear of falling and heights
He had to close his eyes
When he was in the skies
He couldn't safely lead the sleigh at night

Vixen's job was to guard the Christmas sleigh
And make sure presents weren't stolen away
Didn't care about the race
Wanted to keep his place
Knew presents were needed to save the day

Blitzen knew he was last in line
And his nose was black with no shine
He made his nostrils flare
And shoved a flashlight there
Now he could lead the sleigh this time

What a lovely series of limericks. So full of fun and perfectly rhyming. This needs plenty of imagination. Of all the characters I love comet the deer who loves to have a stomach full of beer! :) Great job Tania !
