Where are All the Reindeer?

"Where are All the Reindeer?"
12/17/02 - 19 years old

"Where are all the reindeer?"
A jolly man once asked...
"They were here just a while ago...
And now they've all got gas!!"

"I can't take these farting reindeer
To deliver gifts with me....
I have to find replacements;
I'll see what I can see."

So that wise, old Santa
Discarded his Comet and all.
Went on searching for a team;
First thing he found was a doll!

He needed another seven
To finish off his fleet
To fill another position
Santa took two geese!

With six more reindeer's places
Santa started to cry...
Until he saw a buffalo
Out the corner of his eye!

Santa was calming down;
The task didn't seem so hard.
Santa found a cat and dog...
Just sitting in a yard!

Santa looked and realized
He needed only three more.
He traveled to the jungle
And got himself a boar!

Santa sat and thought
Had a few to go
So Santa scooped up Goldie
From Mr. Alamo!!

One more spot to fill;
Santa needed something fast...
He found himself an alligator -
His fleet was done at last!

Santa looked upon his animals
And began to laugh and snort.
He had the greatest fleet, though
With animals of every sort!

He realized he needed a guide...
To replace his red-nosed friend.
He found himself a butterfly
When he went and looked again!

Now Santa could continue;
He could deliver to all the babes.
It would be a strange, strange Christmas...
But he'd remember it for days!!!
