Reindeers Poems | Examples

Rudolph’s broken leg

Poor Rudolph had a broken leg. It happened on the day
he was to lead the reindeer with Santa on his sleigh.
They say it was an accident, but somehow I have doubt
‘Cause the other jealous reindeers wanted Rudolph out

They tripped him up with tinsel. They’d hoped he’d bash his nose.
I heard it on the grapevine, that’s the way the story goes
But Rudolph he was limping and the reindeer guys felt bad.
They didn’t really mean it. They were really very sad.

So they said that they were sorry for causing him such pain
And promised in the future, he could lead the herd again
So Rudolph, he forgave them and I’m very glad to say
He lights the way for Santa on every Christmas Day.

Holiday Fun

The reindeers were ready to go
When Santa called out Ho Ho Ho
Put the toys on the sled
Then to Rudolph he said
Shine up your red nose let it glow.

He waved to the elves a goodbye
Then lifted the sleigh in the sky
Rudoph’s nose surely shone
While the reindeers raced on
And yes, to your house he stopped by.

Then went down your chimney did he
While reindeers ate carrots with glee
And for each girl and boy
Santa left them a toy
Made sure they were under your tree.

Cupid will be Getting Coal Again

We are going to do a flash mob dance Comet told the crew.
I have a choreographer trained reindeer to help, her name is Bonnie Sue.
Vixen and Blitzen were miffed, because it was not their idea at all.
Dasher and Rudolph did not hear, they were watching snow fall.

Bonnie Sue came in and kept all the reindeers on their hooves for sure.
She had a sassy way about her, she was full of holly and manure.
Olive was irritated, because she was not asked to choreograph the dance.
Don’t be persnickety said Donner who thought with B.S. he had a chance.

Their dance steps were merry, they left prints all over the fresh snow.
Santa tried to find them but with all these prints he did not know…
Where his reindeer were or what mischief they were about.
Olive past him on her way out, her nose was in a snooty pout.

Dancer and Prancer said “we hear Santa” and all the dancing stopped.
Pretend we're rioting for better rations, said new elf named McFlopped.
“that won’t work, let me handle this, my friends,” with reindeer cheer.
Cupid lied to Santa’s face, so coal will be in his stocking again this year.

WEIGHTLIFTING SANTA

Santa is tired being overweight
The mirror keeps showing for Heaven’s sake
Santa and fat
Kids can relate to that
Santa wants to transform into shape
He doesn’t want to resemble an ape
It’s exercise and lift weights
The motto, “NO PAIN NO GAIN”
Protein will be the intake
Training will be the partake
Nutritious meals
Clothing won’t be a conceal
Ms. Claus has organized his diet
Even Santa’s Reindeers will be healthy
Santa wants a healthy team, but not so extreme
Just lean and not mean
Lift and be strong
Longevity is where Santa wants to belong
The new Santa
Transformation at its best
Santa alone will be the one who can confess
Let’s see what the kids like best
Old Santa or new

HOLIDAY THOUGHT

A little Tot so excited
Couldn’t sleep
Tried to even count sheep
The thought of Reindeers circulating deep
The anticipation of Santa’s arrival
Santa’s motto, “You better not cry nor pout”
The Tot’s reality check, he better go to sleep
Otherwise, Santa will bypass his house and skip
Santa’s tip
As the night went on, the little tot finally gave in and went into deep sleep
The Holiday night and the stars, sleep tight
Christmas morning arrived, and the little tot rushed downstairs and looked under the Christmas Tree of the presents that were left by Santa
The little Tot was so excited, he had to open the gifts right away
He saw all kinds of gifts such as a passenger plane, a small Remote Robot, a toy Greyhound bus and more
Full of joy
Playing with toy after toy
A Christmas uplifted for the little tot to enjoy

Santa's dilemma

Jingle bells jingle bells 
Dear Santas lost all hope. 
For the world that he once knew 
As sadly now gone Woke. 

It used to be so easy 
When there were only girls and boys. 
But now there's many more genders 
He'd rather be unemployed. 

So soon he'll be retiring 
Along with his reindeers who. 
No longer want to be a part 
Of a world that's become unscrewed.

Santa's Dilemma

Dear Santa

I’m writing early this year
Especially after the debacle of last year
You delivered the sexy underwear and the two-day hotel break to my wife
What the hell were you thinking
Does my wife look like she can get into a size ten
You useless fat bastard
Two days I had to suffer the wife parading herself
It was psychological torture
Swear to god, if I could’ve got my hands on you
Still swithering on suing your fat ass
This year I’m going to lay it on the line
Deliver it to the wrong address
Your Ho ho ho, will be, Oh oh oh
Do I make myself clear
Now listen up
Face pack and support tights
They go to the wife
Basque and French knickers, hotel included
To the lover
Don’t make me go back to that hotel with the wife
Or, I swear, you’ll be wearing those reindeers
Do you need a reminder
Have you got it now
Oh, and merry Christmas.

A Wake on the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, and insomnia befell,
No creature was stirring, but my thoughts are pell-mell.
Would the family squabbles and feuds come with the cheer?
Would I have to drown them out, with too much beer?

The smile and wave diversion has limited worth?
How long can my mirth defray my feeling good dearth?.
I flit like a butterfly, I sting like a bee. 
But, my hands can't hit what my eyes can't see.

It's all so jovial, with all folks tongues tied.
Letting slip barbs tongue-in-cheek that lied.
Lips forced into clenched fist clamped smiles.
With forget-me-knots shrouded as wait-a-whiles.
 
The reindeers were laughing, stopping on the roof,
as I downed another draught of whiskey high-proof.
A hangover is a sure-fire cure to help me cope,
with the downhill slide to the slippery slope.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and I'm awake,
fearing the family feud sparring earthquake.
My mind is churning over past disputes, give-and-take,
and how to avoid ruining the day with a silly mistake.

CHRISTMAS FAIRE

Christmas flowing through the air
Children’s hearts wait for Santa to appear
Reindeers ready
Rudolph holding steady
Christmas Trees stand tall and bright
Wiseman followed the North Star during the night
Bethlehem thought of the Nativity of the Little Babe sight
Joy to the world
Children sleeping and dream of Christmas anticipation
It’s Christmas Eve night
Santa’s yearly ride
All the gifts that he will provide
Winter winds
Christmas Day commerce
Friends and Family cheer
Christmas is finally here
The reason for the season
A Holy Birth
Peace and goodwill to all

the bazaar season

it all seemed bazaar to me;

that Santa wore a thick fur lined coat,
but our sun gave off a blistering heat.

xmas characters wore overcoats, beanies and gloves,
but I was wearing shorts, T-shirt and thongs.

ice and thick snow covered the festive ground,
but I looked upon a dry ground covered in dust.

sky`s were cloudy, grey with no shining sun.
but I stood under blue sky with a blazing sun.

they slid over freezing snow and ice
I was cooling off in the deep blue sea.

The season’s trees were lush and green.
but the trees I saw were dry and brown.

when they were out looking for reindeers,
I had to look out for slithering snakes.

they placed the yuletide log to the open fire,
I turned on the air-conditioner way up to high.

people drank steaming cups of egg-nog,
but I was adding ice to my soft drinks.
 
even though the temperature was over 30 degrees,
we still had that hot, cooked lunch.

Finished off with warm pudding and hot custard.

Xmas Embellishments

Gifts love-packed
Glass-balls gleam around
Plastic-bells compact
Move to and fro without sound
Amidst wreaths, and nutcrackers
Wool-stuffed Santa Claus 
Waves his hands like backpackers
Gives a smiling solemn silent pose
Stockings and reindeers 
Occupy their spaces as though it's their right
Snowmen on snowglobes with no fears
Mock at the Gnome that resembles a skeleton knight
Nativity Figures and Sets change the zeitgeist
Cardinals, finches, and redpolls rhythm-set  
All cumulate their concentration on Christ
Has Emmanuel, in the hearts of humanity, been born yet…?

Santa's Beard

Santa dyed his beard black
The reindeers thought he was lack
Of his luster and zing
He even took off his ring
So, they decided to take up the slack

An Ode To Christmas

Christmas.
Believe the story, the prophet, the myth?
Is it all about festivity, excessive drinking and gifts? About family, relatives coming together that otherwise wouldn’t mix?

Do you see it as a meaning? 
Peace on earth, will it ever seriously exist?
Opposing soldiers playing football before sending the bullets flying over the ditch?

Christmas.
A tree in the corner, mince pies, brandy butter, foods so excessively rich?

Is this your Christmas? From your earliest memory to this present itch? Itching to make all things lovely, snow falling, reindeers flying, mistletoe to get that kiss?

Or do you think about the others? 

People who’ve never sat with family pulling crackers singing songs? People who live with no money scratching scrapings from used bowls? Should we see it as an opportunity to help the people with no families, the families with no homes?

Christmas.
All the best to you and yours.
Enjoy the festivities but please remember what JC would want you to remember - the forgotten discarded lives of the lost souls.

Tom Cat Borrowed Money For His Paris Trip

Muddrocker, the moose, crossed the reindeer’s picket line
He’ll be okay, father reassured mother, he’ll be fine.
Dasher and Vixen wanted to scratch out Muddrocker’s eyes.
Santa was thrilled to see him on Christmas Eve, no big surprise.

Reindeer were pouting and snorting as sleigh drove away.
Santa realized he needed no more reindeer on this sacred day.
Fired them all after Muddrocker took him all around.
Reindeers’ wives left them too, we all soon found.

It’s not fair! Said Rudolph, they needed my nose!
Apparently not, said a new reindeer named Mose.
Santa and Muddrocker had fun that wonderful night.
And children were amazed by their terrific sight.
