While mundane
suburbia sleeps
Philanthropist nocturnal creeps,
The Ralgrub! With (on
this one date)
A
crimson-
snouted ungulate.
Thus rhinitis leads a crew
Of strangely avian caribou
Harnessed to a
surface planer That bears a burlap stitched
container Parking in unlikely
placesThe Ralgrub drops the glistening
tracesOf the primitive contrivance
(Built with
pixilate connivance)
Then proceeds this winter vagrant
Clad in raiment loud and flagrant,
To the narrow noxious
ventThat proffers ingress and descent.
Girth and cargo notwithstanding,
Custom slates a graceful landing.
Artifacts secured in
cubesAre transferred next to
knitted tubes Dragging burlap limp and spent
Ralgrub climbs (via noxious vent)
'Till he's hailed by steamy snorting
Of nine quadrupeds cavorting
Yet no local makes objection,
Roof-borne herd escapes detection.
Ralgrub melts like some mirage,
Despite his scarlet camouflage
Fade to black, weird retinue
Of
tundral beasts! Then start anew.
There's loot unending to disburse,
The Ralgrub! Burglar in reverse.
