The red-nosed reindeer Rudolph,
who we know guides Santa’s sleigh,
would surely be called a caribou
if he lived in the USA.
 
But ‘Rudolph the red-nosed caribou’
just doesn’t sound the same,
so how about a nose bright blue,
and a subtle change of name?
 
‘Clive the Cosmic Caribou’
would prove a great delight
with a shiny nose that glows bright blue
like a squad car Christmas Night.
 
But I must admit, Clive sounds a bit
discordant to the ear. So it’s just as well
where Santa dwells,
caribous called reindeer.

Hi Mickey

Rather trying to forget Christmas but this did make me smile. It would sit well in a Christmas card or children's verse collection. I like the idea of the squad car nose.smiley
