The Hippy Dippy Reindeer

Poem Artwork
-->My Spouse Found Several Of These Old Christmas Pet Toys
When She Started Decorating Our House For The Holidays
I Used To Sell Them To Raise Money For Animal Shelters

Please Note: Any Similarities To Old Ed Matlack Are Purely Coincidental


You surely must know
Old Dasher and Dancer,
And Prancer and Vixen,
Old Comet and Cupid,
And Donner and Blitzen.

But kids, have you ever heard of,
The very strangest reindeer of all?

Jersey, The Hippy Dippy Reindeer,
He really loved to puff on the weed;
And if you ever saw this old reindeer,
You would know that he did the deed.

All of those other very nice reindeer,
Used to laugh, and call him names;
They never let the very high Jersey,
Play in any of their reindeer games.

Then, one real sunny Christmas Eve,
Dear old Santa Claus, he came to say:
"Jersey, with your hippy dippy sunglasses,
Won't you please guide my sleigh, today?"

Now, all the other reindeer loved him,
As they all now shouted out with glee:
“Old Jersey, the Hippy Dippy Reindeer,
You Will Definitely Go Down In History!”

And, indeed this old hippy dippy reindeer did,
Since old Jersey Reindeer quickly lost his way;
And, children all over the world, still remember,
Not getting any of their gifts, that Christmas Day.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

©December 2015, A Very Nostalgic Old Mr. Ed,
Who Sings This Song to His Dogs Every Christmas,
As They Merrily Chew On Their Jersey Reindeer Toys
