after Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in the spirit of the holiday tune and Space Battleship Yamato
Rudolf the red nosed dreadnought
had many a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw them
you were probably evacuating home.
You would have to go off world,
because its fire boiled seas.
If you heard Rudolf was coming
your world's leaders grew weak in their knees.
When she first set sail across the stars
the alliance came to say
"Rudolf with your nose bright red,
can you put the myths to bed?"
During the second action
the crew was a bit too green.
It was a rout and poor Rudolf
had to make a swift retreat.
The interstellar war wore on
and her name was a forgotten rose.
Back then, all of her crew wished
they were uniformed in other clothes.
Then the tides began to turn,
year after year blood flowed.
All of the while, mighty Rudolf
became to be feared and well known.
Then one nebula skirmish
turned into a final fray.
The forward warships cornered
all began for the alliance to pray.
Out of the haze came a light,
Rudolf the dreadnought in its unspeakable might,
to wipe the stars clean
with seasoned glee.
All of the other systems loved her.
For everything terrible and wonderful she would mean.
Rudolf the red nosed dreadnought
went down that day and forever more
in galactic alliance history.
