Can Reindeer Really Fly

.

As a young boy, I often wondered if Reindeer could fly.
As they were often portrayed flying high in the sky.
Flying high with Santa Claus in a large red sleigh.
All over the world with toys on Christmas Eve Day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can Reindeer Really Fly

.
As I sat and thought about it with my little boy brain,
I couldn’t figure out how flight reindeer did sustain.
As they had no wings on their back that I could see,
What kept them high in the air kind of hanging so free?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

.

I had seen a movie about some stuff called flubber,
That made an old car fly when it replaced tire rubber,
But the reindeer all had regular hoofs on their feet,
So that couldn’t be what made them fly looking so sleek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

.

I thought then that someone was telling tall tales,
And maybe those reindeer couldn’t through the sky sail.
Then on Christmas Eve, on the TV for us all to see,
They tracked Santa and the reindeer on Radar so free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

This confused my mind with hard questions galore,
So I sat right down and thought real hard some more.
If they fly real high running up there only on the air,
How do them propel themselves with no friction there?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

And how do they overcome the strong gravity force,
Staying up in air without falling down from their course?
Has Santa equipped them with some new technology,
That defies gravities force and holds them up, miraculously.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

.

This whole reindeer flying thing just didn’t make sense,
I asked adults but their answers left me in more suspense.
No one it seemed, had an explanation I could understand,
Perhaps to understand, you had to be a grown man.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

So I finally decided inside me, that reindeer don’t fly.
The stories and pictures must be some kind of lie,
That was generally excepted the whole world through,
For some strange reason the stories just were not true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

Then I dug deeper and found that dreamer in me,
And suddenly the answer was there for me too see,
Christmas was a magical time for all boys and girls,
On that day that Jesus Christ was born into the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

So miraculous things must surely occur on that special day,
Like eight reindeer that fly in a nice formation array,
Hauling Santa all over the world with no rest or hay,
To deliver toys to make all the girls and boys gay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

Yes, I had the answer now and it made me so happy,
And even now after I became an old grandpappy,
Those reindeer still fly on every Christmas Eve Day,
So I guess that is about all this old man now can say.
