Half Baked Ideas....Randolph the Big Nosed Reindeer
You've heard of good old Rudolph
And his famous nose,
But have you heard of Randolph
And how his story goes?
​
Rudolph's little brother
Also had a special nose,
But instead of being bright and red
His grows and grows and grows.
​
Now having a big honker,
Might seem to sound ok,
But Randolph's nose was so huge
It just got in the way.
​
So try as he might to help,
To pull on Santa's sleigh
They would shout "Oi! Move your snout!"
"Randolph, go away!"
​
And so it was with a heavy sigh
That Randolph left the others
For many a year on Christmas Eve
He just hid under covers.
​
But this year something different happened
And Santa came to Say
Randolph with your nose so big,
You can't just hide away.
​
So your snout is not as good
when working with the others
But you've got a unique gift
As special as your brother's.
​
And with those words Rand felt a surge
"I can be heroic too!
There are many people that I can help
Instead of pulling you."
​
"That's my boy" said kind Saint Nick
And set him on his way
Up to the sky was Super Randy
Coming to save the day.
​
He flew through the sky past land and sea
Until he reached London Town
"There must be people I can help around here,
Everyone wears a frown!"
​
And so to pick the lucky ones
He flew nearer to the ground
"I'll see if they need help at Buckingham Palace
To help the queen and crown."
​
But he flew into an unusual scene,
Prince Philip arguing with the Queen.
It appeared their car had broken down,
On their way back home from town.
​
"Oh blast it dear, we've run out of fuel!"
"I told you we would you silly old fool!
And now we'll be late for dinner with Harry
We've got far too many bags to carry..."
​
And as Liz continued
Philip looked to the sky
And to his relief,
He saw there flying by
​
Randolph with his bulbous snout
(This should solve old Lizzie's pout!)
"Randolph with your nose so large,
Please push my car to the nearest garage!"
​
"I'm only too happy to help you Phil,
I'll sort this out, you just sit and chill!"
"Why," said Phil, "thank you so much Randy
That Schnoz of yours really is quite handy!"
​
So with a cheerio and a wave goodbye,
Randolph once more took to the sky
To see who might need a helping hand
And whilst he was looking for a place to land...
​
Randolph saw a soggy fella
Who'd left home without an umbrella
The poor old chap was soaked to the skin
(He was wearing a jacket that was much too thin)
​
And as Randolph swooped
to offer sanctuary
He noticed that it was none other
Than young Prince Harry
​
On his way to see mum and dad
(Without a date, quite strange for this cad!)
As Randolph landed, himself soaked through
Harry said "Boy , I'm pleased to see you!"
"Randolph with your nose so huge,
Protect me from this awful deluge!"
​
So Randolph acted as a hood
And covered Harry so he could
Make his way to see his folks
For a night of Phil's inappropriate jokes.
​
Said Harry "Randy you've saved the day!"
"Thank you Harry, now I must away!"
But as he headed towards the door
He saw the queen looking cross once more.
​
"Whatever can be the matter Ma'am?"
"It's that old twit Phil, I'm going to cause him harm!"
"He knows its his turn to hang up the washing,
But he's left it in the basket squashing
Up all wet and getting creased
He could have hung up my frock at least!
Now I've got nothing to wear
And a queen can't dine in her underwear!
Randolph with your jumbo nose,
Please come and dry my soggy clothes!"
​
"Don't worry I'm here, your hero for hire
My nose works well as an industrial drier."
But with one problem solved another one came
In the form of Philip with head hung in shame
​
There's a problem love, the oven didn't work
Cause I didn't turn it on.", "Philip, you are a burk!"
​
To be continued...
