It’s that time again; the lights are up, the songs are being piped out of the shops and Santa is starting to put the elves to hard work. But what about the reindeer? This week Michael Healy wonders if its all not looking a little bit like a reindeer Christmas chain-gang…
The Bells on my Harness.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
We’re still pulling this damn sleigh
Oh! Why don’t we try to unionise
With the huskies and their sleds.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
He never knows the way
Oh! We could use a SatNav
to help drag the fat lad
Really he only gets in the way.
Dashing through the homes,
Out he comes fatter each time.
To the next house we go
Hungry half the night
Only every tenth kid
Leaves a carrot out, right
And how can one feed nine deer
Who work through such a night?
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
He drinks too on the way
Oh! Why do kids leave out a
Whiskey or Guinness for a change.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Oh! What kinda guy teaches
Deer to fly, just call PETA quick, ok.
