The Night Rudolph and Santa's Sled Got Stuck
Twas' night before Christmas, Santa's sled was hard stuck
but Christmas was saved by farmer Ted's mule, Ole Buck.
With Rudolph exhausted, his nose still shining bright red
reindeer pulling hard, could not free that heavy sled!
Bad blizzard had caught Santa and his famous team
in fear reindeer cried, all was lost or so it seem.
Rushing, Santa landed in a snowbank that night
his sled sinking deep, O' what a frightening sight!
Santa yelled, "come on, we have to get this sled free"
For all the world's children depend on you and me!
An hour of pulling, the reindeer at greatest strain
all to no avail, for not a foot could they gain!
Just then Rudolph breaking down, let out loudest scream
"Please, please help us, free dearest Santa's Christmas team"
Ole buck, had heard, through all that blizzard howling wind
started braying loud, for his master to help send!
Farmer Ted bolted upright, screeching screams he heard
through fierce howling winds, he caught Rudolph's pleading words.
"Help, help, for the children and Christmas set us free"
"All will be lost, no gifts will be under each tree"!
In a flash, out the door, to Buck's red barn he raced
For to let Santa down now, he would be disgraced!
Old buck was ready and willing, eager to go,
out they ran in the blizzard, wading through deep snow!
Round the bend, far away, upon that giant hill
they saw Santa's hard stuck sleigh, O' what a great thrill.
Once there, they heard all the reindeer this loudly cheer
"Hurrah, we are saved, for Christmas is saved this year"!
With Ole Buck hitched fast to Santa's stuck Christmas sled
Buck and reindeer pulled, with Rudolph's nose shining red.
Santa cried, "free us, deliveries we must make"
"Free us this snowy Christmas night for goodness sake"!
With a hard grunt and a huge and mighty strong yank
Santa's sled was freed, and they had Ole Buck to thank!
Farmer Ted, gave all some warm chocolate to drink
Buck the mule had saved all, who such would ever think?
Santa then gave his blessings, thanking one and all
saying, "off we must fly, finish Christmas night's haul"!
With that said and a hearty and thankful goodbye
away they rose, into that blizzard snowing sky!
Farmer Ted walked Ole Buck back to his red barn
many have cried, this was all, just a Christmas yarn.
That is until they go there and this they do find
sign Santa left, - " Here Ole Buck saved my fat behind"!

Christmas Tale, written in forty-four, 12 syllable verses
Note: I wrote this today, both for Christmas, all its eager children and for my son's eleventh birthday tomorrow.
Going to print it out and give it as another present to him that I so love with my all!!!
As I hope it is worthy enough to be read to and delight children and as well as the inner child still remaining in we adults too.
Some day, I may write the story of the hungry bear and my childhood berry picking tale,
with-" juicy berries everywhere"! that I told as a bedtime story to my beautiful daughter Kashaundra, two decades ago.
