What was that noise from the stable stalls?
What was that blood drooling down the dark walls?
What was that howl echoing over the snows?
The mutant zombie reindeer with the rancid red nose
Look out dear Santa, watch it jolly elves
Wear cloves of garlic to protect yourselves
Carry a crucifix when you go outside
Or you're in for a hellish zombie sleigh-ride
You know Dancer and Prancer with their eyes dripping goo
Donner and Blitzen with their skulls peeking through
Dasher and Vixen and Comet and Cupid
Would you like to pet them? Don't you be stupid!
Rudolph the leader drips maggots from his head
As he leads the dance of the reindeer undead
Try to take a stake and drive it through his heart
Before the sleigh-ride through Hell can start
Look at your presents on Christmas Day
What have the zombies brought your way?
Look, there's a heart beating there in your stocking
Spouting black blood, well isn't that shocking?
Unwrap that skull with the chattering jaws
Stroke the Yuletide kitten with the festering paws
Smile at the puppy with the charnel-house breath
Doing the Christmas dance of death
What was that noise from the stable stalls?
What was that blood drooling down the dark walls?
What was that howl echoing over the snows?
The mutant zombie reindeer with the rancid red nose

TERRIFIC!
That was an excellent poem! I just changed the contest probably as you were entering, but I promise I will do the Undead Zombie Reindeer on again soon and you BETTER put that on there! THAT WAS AWESOME!
