Reindeer Job Action
By Canadian_Bacon
27 March 2008
Here's another silly/fun poem I wrote last year, on Dec 6. I decided to write something Christmasy and light-hearted, so I created this. Enjoy!

Reindeer Job Action
Mike Shaw


On December sixth, just past ten,
The Reindeer went on strike.
They mounted roofs in Wellington,
Said, "Santa, take a hike!"

Dasher wants to work more hours,
Dancer wants a sweater.
Prancer wants to have a nap,
While Vixen writes a letter.

Comet needs a dental plan,
Cupid needs a beer.
Donner wants a parachute,
Blitzen wants some landing gear.

Even little Rudolph,
Santa's very best,
Has switched off his glowy nose,
And proudly joined the rest.

Inspired by their furry pals,
The shop elves stood up too.
Since they couldn't reach a rooftop,
They decided to work-to-rule.

The gears of merriment slowly stop,
And Santa hasn't caved.
Only 19 days 'til Christmas,
Can our holidays be saved?

Really, it's about Canada Post, isn't it. :)

Possibly don't understand the underlying meaning, but I loved it all the same. I got a good chuckle out of it.
