Leonard the Leopardskin Reindeer
Had a bright and shiny nose
But no one ever saw it
You couldn't see quite past his clothes
All of the other reindeer
Used to tease and taunt him so
They never let poor Leonard
Play with them out in the snow
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
It was way too thick to fly
The reindeer and the loaded sleigh
Were grounded, on standby
Santa was at his wits end
He didnÂ’t know quite what to do
When Leonard pranced up to him
And came to the rescue
Leonard the leopardskin reindeer
Hitched up to SantaÂ’s sleigh
He raced around the world so fast
Jingling all the way
All of the Christmas presents
For every girl and boy
Arrived on time, in record speed
The children danced with joy
Leonard the leopardskin reindeer
YouÂ’ll go down in history

Ha ha! Now that is quite the wonderful leopardy reindeer and it looks like Santa did get the nose on! Giggle! What fun this is...you did a wonderful job getting the spots on the reindeer, I mean leopard! This is so fun, who'd a thunk Santa and Mrs. Clause would jump on the leopard skinned band wagon! Tee hee! What fun this is.....
