Reindeer Rules by bob cullen

Santa won't arrive this year, the reindeer are out on a week-long strike
Rudolph heard Santa say, next year he might upgrade to a Harley bike
"Bikes don't need feeding all year round and they'll so easily drag the sleigh
And reindeer's give off way too much gas and it is always aimed my way."

Rudolph won't negotiate, says, "December's a way too late to talk
And with the cost of fuel today, running out would mean a long, long walk
Santa let's be reasonable, bikes won't treat you like we reindeer do
Weather has never stopped us from getting you back home and on time too."

Maybe Santa, we should discuss the real reasons for this awful strike
We're offended you'd consider replacing us with a Harley bike
Have you thought about insurance or the number of bikers who die?
In accidents compared to the deaths of sleigh riders up in the sky

So, truth is, our prime concern revolves solely 'round your safety and health
Living with you and Mrs. Clause at the Pole, we have no need for wealth
And we're not driven by the desire to be rich like the folk next door
We live by reindeer rules: When you have all you need, you just don't need no more

Author Notes
The last line is one syllable too long. I could see no way of changing it. I'm open to suggestions.
