Best Nosed Poems
Santa Claus has travel worries at the North Pole,
With terrible winter storms brewing there afoot,
He knows Christmas is so close and so he must put
His children first now whom he loves deeply and whole!
And so he must find red-nosed Rudolph to cajole
Him into guid’n his sleigh on Christmas Eve to boot,
For this would bring his kids so much joy—what a hoot!
Rudolph’s red nose bright guiding them from the North Pole!
Rudolph leads Santa’s reindeer on Christmas Eve Night,
While all shout out with joy on this blessed holy night!
Santa’s reindeer love Rudolph in equal measure,
For with him they won’t be lost—oh what a pleasure!
Rudolph’s glowing red nose shines now ever so bright,
As we all with Santa celebrate the Lord’s night!

(Petrarchan Sonnet poetic format in Iambic Hexameter)
Rudolph paled because his nose turned brown
He couldn’t smile so he wore a frown
Santa wiped a tear from the reindeer’s eye
He hated to see poor Rudolph cry
Santa sprinkled on some Christmas dust
The nose is now red not a dark shade of rust
So look out of your window on Christmas night
You will see Rudolph’s red nose shining bright

This is the story of how Daisy the cow
Became one of Santa’s reindeer
Poor Rudolph was down with the flu
So Santa said “Daisy, come here”
“I’ll put a splash of red paint on your snout
And for one night you’ll be able to fly”
And sure enough, with a glowing red nose
Daisy shot up into the sky
Santa fashioned some antlers from branches
From a nearby fallen dead tree
“Well now Daisy, you’ve come up a treat,
No one will notice the difference” said he
Daisy was ever so nervous
At how the night might possibly go
Especially as the weather took a turn for the worse
And started to heavily snow
But Daisy needn’t have worried
As the night built a head up of steam
Delivering gifts to boys and girls
The night flew by like a dream
That is when Daisy awoke
In her field, that was just by a stream
Daisy realized with heavy heart
That it HAD all just been a dream
Come the time for milking
The farmer looked at Daisy and froze
“Daisy, what have you been up to?
Why have you got a red nose?”
Daisy of course did not answer
Inside she just secretly smiled
Knowing that she had, played her part
In bringing happiness to every child
And in the far off distance
She could hear some carollers singing
And every now again she caught on the wind
The sound of sleigh bells a ringing.
***MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE***

Poor Rudolph his nose has turned brown
His antics have made Santa frown
For no one supposes
That folks with brown noses
Are trouble and let others down

Epiphany falls exactly
on the sixth of each January;
children call it, " La Befana ":
she's the opposite of Santa!
On the sixth of each January,
the dauntless witch flies away;
will the beak-nosed Befana find
Baby Jesus and become kind?
Children call it, " La Befana ":
an old witch riding the broomstick,
bringing gifts; she's a real nonna*
to those kids who are good, not slick!
She's the opposite of Santa:
who's jolly and he's never late;
should every Italian kid trade
their Befana for our Santa?
P.S. Nonna is the Italian word for grandmother
There was Snoopy and Odie,
Beethoven and Benjie
All the dalmatians, who caused a great freenzy,
But do you recall........ The most Famous Pug Dog of all........?
Jackson the flat nosed Pug Dog,
Had a very flattened nose
and if you ever saw him,
you would see he's pigeon toed
All of the female Pug Dogs,
liked his little Pug Dog swag
they loved to follow Jackson,
for a little tail wag
Then one stormy Christmas Eve,
Janis Pug heard him say
It's to cold for you to leave,
I really think that you should stay
Now there's a brand new Ornament,
Hanging from the Christmas tree
Jackson the flat nosed Pug Dog
You'll- Go- Down- in - History.............................................
Sant's Village Rap.
It’s too cold up here in Santa’s Village
Where everything’s hand-made and vintage.
There ain’t no natural resources;
Just ice and snow, not even horses.
Got reindeer, y’know. Ho, ho, ho.
It’s hard to make so many Christmas toys
For all those good l’il girls and boys.
We must import exotic woods,
Metals, paints, and those plastic goods.
They ain’t cheap, y’know. Ho, ho, ho.
My elves all want a change of scene.
They’re tired of white; they want some green
They’re threatening to unionize,
If we don’t move to southern skies.
Ho, ho, ho. Froelischer Weinachen! Joyeux Noel! Horoshoe rojdetstvo!
Ho, ho, ho.
Mrs. Claus joined the picket line,
And with her went my reindeer nine.
Now Rudolph’s even on their side;
So there might not be no Christmas ride!
Ho, ho, ho. Sretan Bohzich! Feliz navidad! Buon natale’!
Ho, ho, ho.
I’ll kinda miss those northern lights,
Ice sculptures, snow men, starry nights –
No more invites to no Eskimo meals.
Goodbye polar bears, penguins and seals;
Ho, ho, ho. Vrolijk keerstfeest! Feliz natal! Mmeerrryyy Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the stable,
Not a reindeer was stirring upsetting Old Santa's timetable!
Sitting on their haunches were Donner, Comet, Cupid and Prancer,
And joining them in a snit were Dasher, Vixen, Blitzer and Dancer!
Rudy, that prima donna, relaxed in his stall, well out of sight,
Preening and shining his nose, preparing to lead tonight's flight.
'Twas well-known that Rudy was Santa's pet of all the reindeer,
Since he was seen by the others schmoozing with Santa all thro' the year.
Hence, he was known as Rudolph the Brown Noser by his envious peers,
Instead of Rudolph the Red Noser which was time-honored in past years.
Since early July the sprites had worked overtime out-doing themselves;
Alas, Santa's sleigh sat idle full of goodies loaded by hard-driven elves.
The cantankerous deer allowed there was no settlement yet near,
So said Santa, "Get this show on the road! Rudy will lead the herd this year!"
Santa set up a system to draw straws as leader for all subsequent Yules,
And if this didn't work, he threatened to replace them with a span of mules!
Entry for Joseph May's "The Night Before" Contest
Bottle Nosed Dolphins
So powerful, yet graceful
Lifeguards of the sea
Sung to the tune Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Jackson the flat nosed Pug Dog
Had to go out to pee,
Because we are in a Blizzard
Jackson could barely see
All of the other Pug Dogs
stayed in the house where it's warm,
He didn't have his sweater
Cause yesterday it got torn
refrain:
Then a snowplow passed him by,
Covered him with snow,
Jackson, he was so uptight
Almost forgot he had to go
Got himself on the sidewalk
shook himself off you know,
Lifted his leg to the hydrant
Made himself some yellow snow.......
Jackson the flat nosed Pug Dog
suddenly filled with glee,
in the town of Waterloo Iowa
He'll go down in HIs---to---ry
Roy is such a jolly ole soul
who enjoys riding mule deer,
helping Santa at the North Pole,
most of all, spreading good cheer.
This year was different,
Santa decided to take vacation.
He informed Roy of this event
inquiring of his participation.
Roy shouted out with glee;
he became very ecstatic.
Calmly, he did agree
not to be such a fanatic.
He wondered what he would drive.
His Harley was in the shop.
How would all the gifts arrive?
He didn’t want Christmas to be a flop.
He thought of Ralph his mule deer
but remembered he couldn’t fly.
Would there be Christmas this year?
How would mule deer take to the sky?
Pounding his head, he had to think;
he couldn’t take Rudolph or the sleigh.
Santa would raise such a stink.
“Nitro jets; he shouted, that’s the way”.
He went to the shop; got to work.
Hammered and nailed, sawed and fussed.
When he was done; turned with a jerk
saying; “I hope it doesn’t combust”!
He strapped Ralph to a huge wagon
all jets ready for the ride.
Ralph lit like a fiery dragon.
Roy’s red-nose a beaming guide.
Parachutes galore fell from the night sky,
dropping one by one at house doors.
Roy happily gave a wink of the eye
and quickly got back to his chores.
Giving the last bundle a kiss,
Roy sent it on its way.
Happy that he did not miss
and Christmas was not a delay.
I heard Roy shout as Ralph fired away.
“I delivered them all, who needs a sleigh”.

Now Rudolph the red-nosed caribou
has a task that only he can do
his job on Christmas Eve
though you may disbelieve
is to guide Santa's sleigh straight to you.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
I love your red nose that is full of cheer.
It is time for you to fly up in the sky,
so guess we now need to say bye.
Festive Sing-A-Long Time!
There was dasher and dancer etcetera etcetera
Comet and something and something and blitzen
But do you recaaaaaaaall the most regular plain deer of allllll
BA DUM BUM BUM
Budolph the brownnosed plain deer
Had a very regular noooose
And if you ever saw iiiiit
You would even say….probably nothing.
I mean, it was just a regular nose.
All of the other reindeer
Used to treat him normallyyyyy
They always let that Budolph
Do whatever the rest of them were doing, obviouslyyyy.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to saaaaay (Ho hO Ho)
Budolph with your nose so brown
You’re kind of a kiss ass.
Then all the reindeer stood there
As they lined up before the sleeeigh
Budolph the brownnosed plain deer
You’ll go down in (possibly a footnote somewhere I guess?) historyyyyy
The skies open
and money falls
covering the earth with kindness
what will be
will be seen
in the paradise you have left behind
tell me oh wise one
how could it be
that we should reunite
beside the sea
oh lord of lords
oh king of kings
soothe your sad head
and we will speak
of other things
of racing cars and midnight bars
tell me that you are thinking of me
