Hrodulf the Red-Nosed Reindeer: An Original Old English Poem

Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer --
That beast didn't have unshiny nostrils!
The goodly nose-cartilage glittered and glowed.
The hoof-bearers taunted him with proud words;
The comrades wouldn't allow wretched Hrodulf
To join the reindeer games.

Tim points out that 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' was created for the Montgomery Ward group of department stores.
