The Rudolph Misnomer

Rudolph's name is really Adolf
But was coined for he was thought rude
Assumed to be full of himself
As leader of the reindeer brood

His red nose stayed up in the air
That part of the story is right
But he only kept it that way
To see around the blinding light

About that "rude olf" moniker
He would always spread the word
To please only call him Adolf
Ironically that was preferred!
