Notes About The Poem

Miranda Hawley's Christmas Tizzy Contest ~ December 12, 2024

Dasher and Dancer's Christmas Eve Call Offs

It was Christmas Eve night and Santa was in a pickle
when Dasher was caught giving Blitzen a quick tickle
He and Dancer had been seriously dating for a year
but his flirtatious ways had her crying tear after tear.

Worried, Rudolph told Santa she refused to fly tonight
if Dasher was going to be harnessed next to her in flight.
"Oh, dear," said Santa. Now, what am I supposed to do?"
Rudolph's nose was blinking as he said, "I haven't a clue."

The sled was already loaded down with presents and toys
waiting to be delivered to all the good little girls and boys.
Santa had a new reindeer waiting at his first stop in Britain,
a handsome one who winked at Dancer, and she was smitten.

Such a fun contest winner, Lin. And a little Christmas drama between deer makes for a fun poem, indeed!

Great fix! I've always assumed all the reindeer are male so I'm glad you've given me a new perspective! Congratulations! Xo
