Reindeer Strike
Santa’s reindeer staged a ‘strike’
No presents would get through
It was a dread dilemma
Whatever would he do,
Well, he opted for some movie-stars
He considered males first off
Rudolph would be a “spokesdeer”
But he’d only laugh and scoff,
Still, old Santa forged ahead
Contacting Clooney and then Debb
Timberlane, and Affleck
And Wahlberg on ‘the web’,
Theroux, Reynolds, McAvoy
Gave a full team made of eight
When ‘Sheldon’ volunteered to lead
Everything was “Cheers!” and “Great!”
But then, the Ladies butted in
Claiming they could do it best
Led by Louis-Dreyfus
With Ty Burrell as “well dressed”,
Hilton, Gellar, Tamblyn
Made up the fronting-five
With Lohan, Spears, and Lawryn Hill
Their team was set to drive,
Johansson would be Rudolph
With Sandra Bullock nearly chose
I mean, she almost got it
Just missing “by a nose”,
The reindeer saw the competition
And that Santa wouldn’t budge
They forsook their foolish strike
Knowing when enough’s – enuf,
And so, this year will see the same
Traditions steadfast sight
Along with “Merry Christmas
And to all … a big Good Night!”
