Listen to poem:

Wanda and Rudolph

Your only four feet tall and you got a red nose taunts the scarlet witch 
"But I have antlers strong &  sturdy and I can outshine a blood moon anytime "
You can buck your horns but you can't deliver you silly caribou, she teases
"I am a legendary luminous being of light and I can see very well, every night " 
You should be returned to isolation, Santa wouldn't use you , you rangifer twit 
(sigh) if must you know, I was teleported to the North Pole, chosen by Santa !
(Wanda the scarlet witch who was only trying to toughen his hyde 
decided to transport him to Wundagore Mountain 
to see if he could survive the mountain goats out there !  
"W000, what the dickens am I doing in the alps ? Yoo hoo,  Oh Santa ! "
She stirred the four winds & blew across the fifty seas ,then whispered 
to Rudolph, " are we done yet ?" 
"I'm a reindeer, not a moose " (though by now he appeared more to be 
pretty dusty, tired & worn, he didn't let up and he didn't give in. 
When Xmas Eve arrived, Santa's sleigh with its Light Detection spotted  
Rudolph and scooped down to pick him up. 
From way up there in that wondrous sphere Rudolph waved to Wanda
below, then realized she was grinning from ear to ear.  
In her ruby red dress she looked radiant.  Like the first day they met, 
on a fantastical journey.  To drink tea and eat burntys together.  
By the light of His ruby red nose.
