You know all the reindeer
From Rudolf to Prancer
But do you know Engelbert?
(You don’t have to answer…)
Engelbert the reindeer
Whom nobody knows
Was brother to Rudolph
The one with THAT nose
He longed to be leading
Ol’ Santa’s great sleigh
But an orbital defect
Sadly got in the way
For Engelbert’s vision
Was slightly askew
Cross-eyed was he
There was naught he could do
He wore thick-lensed glasses
That brought much derision
But most luckily
It corrected his vision
It still was not likely
He’d lead Santa’s team
As long as there’s Rudy
It stayed a pipe dream
For Rudolph was king
And he made sure you knew it
If the weather was bad
Well, he simply flew through it!
But wouldn’t you know it
A year came along
When all the things right
Went completely all wrong
The whole team of reindeer
Got stricken with flu
And on Christmas Eve!
What was Santa to do!?
He summoned for Engelbert
His glasses and all
So glad was this reindeer
To answer the call!
His heart and his vigor
Would power that sleigh
And corrective eye glasses
Made his eyesight okay!
Aren’t we all glad
That Bertie saved Christmas
And a good healthcare plan
Helped him treat his Strabismus!
