*Rudolph's Red Nose Truth*

Rudolph the reindeer, legend so bright,
But his nose wasn’t glowing from holiday light.
No, the truth’s a bit darker, with a magical twist,
It’s the Colombian fairies you’d never have missed.
 
They gave him the powder, they said it was pure,
“Only the strong can handle this cure!”
For Rudolph, no wings, no flying skills given,
He’d always been grounded, his dreams unforgiven.
 
“Just one little deal,” said the fairies with glee,
“And soon you’ll be soaring, as high as can be!”
With a snort and a sniff, his nose took to glow,
And Rudolph took off with the magical snow.
 
At the Pole, he found work, where no one would dare,
Question a red nose—"Nothing to declare!"
He and St. Nick, partners in flight,
Sharing the stash on a frosty cold night.
 
So next time you cheer for his shiny red nose,
Just know it’s not magic—it’s powdered white blows!
