Story New — Clyde, The Forgotten Reindeer, Part 3
Clyde is the coolest reindeer
Every other reindeer knows
Even the Fat Man said it
We don’t need that glowing nose
All of the other reindeer
Get lost walking in their homes
They are simply useless
They’re just like those silly gnomes
It’s all me I’ve got to say
Santa’s on his phone
Licks cookie crumbs off the plate
While I place presents in the home
‘Clyde!’
‘Santa?’
‘You are on my naughty list. It’s desk duty for you. Rudolph, thank you for alerting me to this utter disrespect.’
‘No problem, boss.’ Rudolph shot Clyde a “gotcha” wink and smirk.

“Grandpa, what’cha hangin’ on the tree?”
“A reindeer.”
“Which one?”
“Clyde.”
“There’s no ‘Clyde’ reindeer.”
“Sure there is. Reindeer are teamed up in pairs: Dasher and Dancer and all that. Clyde’s next to Rudolph.”
“But Rudolph’s nose glows bright and…”
“And Clyde has radar. Good team.”
“…”
“Rudolph plays the victim: that whole ’no one will play with me’ thing. Not so. Rudolph is upper crust. Highfalutin. Rudolph’s PR team make you pity him, so he’s popular. But no one remembers Clyde.”
“Hi Mom! Grandpa’s been tellin’ me ‘bout…”
“Yes, I heard. Dad — have you been eating my medicinal cookies again?”
