Rudolph

A more cynical take on the classic Christmas character; Rudolph is a zombie reindeer whose dreams were crushed.

“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose

whenever anyone saw him

they'd laugh and gawk at how it'd glow.

all of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names

bad thoughts entered his bloodstream

they clouded his young, small brain.

Then one clouded Christmas eve, 

Rudolph got in way too deep.

"For I with my nose ablaze,

will get to end their mocking gaze."

Then, how he started screaming! 

"Have I taken this way too far?"

for Rudolph had missed his target,

and now all he has nasty scars.”
