Rudolf the red-nosed ...

BUMP for Charley.

I'll intrude unless Charley wants to take the sled in a different direction.

Rudolf, your red nose concerns me
The rest of us fly in your nasal mist,
galloping through your viral sea
while Santa just sits and gets pissed.
We're all in danger of getting "la grippe"
and Wunorse, the elf, who maintains the sleigh
has Asian Bird Flu from his trip
When we outsourced to Mandalay
Barbie and Elmo.......

Feel free, anyone, to modify or delete the last two lines, depending upon where you take it.

well you know what they say about the best laid plans, charley and yeah, it kinda surprised me where this took us...


and duh - but you know something? like Angeline I'm kinda glad it did. it never occurred to me that i'd start writing about rudolf the red-nosed reindeer and turn it on its toes into a Nureyev/Fonteyn mucking about on the stage poem!

p.s having returned and re-read my OWN (mwahahaha) i remain steadfastly cheerful and quite unabashed about it.

there ya go - a perfect one-armed lift... *grande jeté's off screen....* she should be proud to have acted as catalyst for such grand writings *snickers*

I'm always happy with all, especially poetry at this time of year. I think you all do a fine job, but at this time of year? Hm, what can I say? ... I bathe in my childhood ... who doesn't?

I liked Mr. Grinch. He scared me
But these two scared me more! Snow/Heat Misers

Edit to add: I think this same post is apropos for a response to GreenMountaineer. POST away, it's CHRISTMAS TIME! (not in a Bob Geldof way - thank God!).

Merry Christmas

So Donner Says to Rudolf......

We're all in danger of getting "la grippe"
and Wunorse, the elf, back with the sleigh
has Asian Bird Flu from his trip
When we outsourced to Mandalay
Barbie, Elmo, GI Joe,
and figurines of Andrew Dice Clay,
Clay because we can’t afford coal
for all naughty boys and girls at Lit.

Well, not sure about nasal mist as a rhyme for pissed, but I must say I like the toy references.
