to good friends . . . old and new
My name is not Dancer, nor Prancer nor Blitzen
My horns go honk honk . . . my hooves need some fi*in’
I bear small resemblance to Santa’s reindeer . . .
But that’s him a drivin’, never you fear.
Together we wish you the top Season's Creetings
Merry Christmas . . . Happy New Year . . . and all the best things! meli the sign of service for 27 GENERAL] TIRE Mailed under Sec. 34.66, P. L. & R. Honolulu Permit No. 174
