RUDOLFS BLANK FACE
Rudolf is hanging by a piece of string
His face is blank no mouth or eyes he cannot see a thing
The nose jaw and mouth move separate from his head
I hope someone buys him as Santa will dread
Training another reindeer so close to Christmas time
He needs his nose ears and eyes for the journey of a lifetime
Now Santa is around the corner and the elves are down the isle
Gathering all the toys while Santa looks for his mobile “Come on Rudolf it will soon be Christmas day”
“We have heaps to do and must be on our way”
“ On the glass shelves are the fairies that wave their magic wand
They fly to isle two for Rudolf and sing a magical song
Now Rudolf shakes his head and his ears turn pink
Next comes his deep brown eyes and he gives the fairy a wink
Hair begins to grow on his face and his red nose is distinct
Rudolf is very hungry and his belly is starting to sink
Clipperty clop goes Rudolf shoes as he walks down the isle
Carrots biscuits and a bale of hay create a great big smile
Santa lets out a roar “It is time for all to flee”
Rudolf is harnessed at the front of the pack
The elves create mayhem there is no going back
Santa puts on his big black boots
The fairies fly and begin to swoop
The reindeers focus and off they go Flying high then flying low
Now Australia is pretty hot and the reindeers are really spent
Rudolf musters all he can to make a happy event
Santa is sweltering in his big red suit
The elves are packing the sack “Check the list” Santa calls
“There is no going back” Brisbane Sydney Melbourne and the Coast the list is very long
They are heading for the outback just in time to see a billabong
They see the billy boil from the sky and take respite by a tree Kangaroos
Emus Koala Bears gather at the fray Santa Rudolf and the elves land safely on the sleigh
Fires drought and red dirt is not a place to nap
Rudolf wanders off to view without his GPS map
The siren sounds everyone is bound
The presents sit by the log
The search party is out and so are the dogs
The reindeers are in a bog
Footprints of mud at the creeks edge
Leave an impression that Rudolf is dead
Bubbles appear in the middle of the creek
Thank God is alive but he is weak Rudolf is alive and prancing again
Everyone has cooled off nothing is bleak
This is Australia in the summer heat
So Santa and Rudolf and the team Hitch up the sleigh and create a beam
A magical rainbow to the North Pole “Yuletide “ he calls and off they go
