The True Story of Rudolph

The True Story of Rudolph

A man named Bob May, depressed and broken hearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night. His 4-year-old daughter Barbara sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bob’s wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer.

Little Barbara couldn’t understand why her mommy could never come home. Barbara looked up into her dad’s eyes and asked, “Why isn’t Mommy just like everybody else’s Mommy?”

Bob’s jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger. It had been the story of Bob’s life. Life always had to be different for Bob. Small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in sports. He was often called names he’d rather not remember.

From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in. Bob did complete college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived. Evelyn’s bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938.

Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn’t even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn’t buy a gift, he was determined to make one - a storybook! Bob had created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal’s story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again Bob told the story, embellishing it more with each telling. Who was the character? What was the story all about?

The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in fable form. The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose. Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day.

But the story doesn’t end there. The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book. Wards went on to print, “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946 Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book. In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May.

The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter. But the story doesn’t end there either. Bob’s brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph.

Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore, it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of “White Christmas.”

The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning back to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn’t so bad. In fact, being different can be a blessing.

The Christmas Magician

Filed under: New Poems, Color My World — admin @ 1:07 pm

The Christmas Magician

the-christmas-magician-logo.jpg
The Christmas Magician 

Peter liked to pick locks, but not as a criminal. From the time was old enough to work in a shoe shop with 20 to 30 other children under 12, he tried to get away from the forced labor England.  The task masters were unsympathetic and downright mean. Locks were on problem children in locked rooms.  His wages went to his parents since his father went to prison for not being able to pay bills owed to the greedy owner of a company.  Peter lived in quarters provided by a different company, that happened to be owned by the same man,  which meant a not-so-soft bed and basic meals to keep him working the 12-14 hour days.  He became an escape artist by choice.

On several of the days he had a self-made holiday, he went to a carnival with sideshows and magic acts.  It was far enough away from the city that he would be safe for a while.  He took some money from a box he knew the owners kept cash. He saw people swallow swords, fireblowers, and people moved from one box to another without being seen. He was most interested in the people who escaped from a variety of contraptions after being chain and lock to the devices.  He stayed as long as he could, and he found out that the carnival was leaving the next day.  He decided to stay with the group and learn from these magicians as much as he could.  He made quick friends with one of the women with the carnival and he spent the night in her wooden trailer in the corner bundled up after she gave him some food.

This was his escape from his past, and he cherished the chance to learn a trade he enjoyed.  He worked with troupe doing odd jobs and earned his own money.  He watched and learned as much as he could from not just the magicians, but how they had the show to draw the maximum interest from the simplest series of tricks.

Peter was listed as a runaway, and his family wanted him back. He noticed many of the people he worked with had less-than-desirable pasts.   Not that they were bad people, or murders, or anything like that.  The authorities were open suspect in the places where the carnivals traveled.  Peter went from smaller outfits to bigger shows that offered an opportunity for him to grow as a magician and showman. He became known by many as “Peter, the Great” as he grew into a man, and his audiences enjoyed his exaggerated feats of daring that seemingly tempted fate each time such tricks were performed.

The financial compensation grew, too, as he became in demand to be part of several shows as an independent act.  By the age of 25, he was a handsome man who was the object of affection of several women, some of whom had money in their families.  He used this advantage to eventually command and fund his own fully complete entertainment company much like the one he used to run away from the shoe factory.  It was complete with dancers, a small orchestra, and a few sideshows, others to run the operation, and people to help him create the newest and most daring magic acts.

A duke, Duke Simon, announced a competition to determined the nation’s best magician, and Peter, The Great, had many people who thought they were just as good as him, if not better.  He was ready for a three-day contest with the duke declaring himself as the judge for the event.  Peter boasted he would do three magic tricks which had never been done before, and he entered the contest with this in mind.  Posters went up for the event, and the anticipation grew the closer the weekend came for the contest.

While getting ready for the event, Peter learned Duke Simon had a daughter, Constance, who was very sick from an unknown disease.  It was surmised by the gossip that perhaps the greatest magician could perform the greatest feat of all, cure his daughter, or that the duke was just was mesmerized by the greatest of magic acts as anyone else.  Peter knew what he had to do to win the competition, his three yet unperformed acts.  He prepared for two months and the days of contest eventually arrived.

He brought his whole troupe to back him in his tricks. It was a real show. On the first day, he had the duke’s armorer place the strongest plated steel around a ten-inch diameter tree with some extra around opposite branches of the tree to resemble a cross between a knight and a scarecrow.   There was another large tree in a straight line from the first about 25 feet way.  This tree had round target, with colored bands, attached five feet from the ground.  Peter said his special arrow would go through the first tree and split another arrow in the center of the target.  He aimed and the arrow he shot split the second in half after piercing the armor around the first tree.  People touched the holes to verify the feat.

The second day he said he would walk through the wall of castle where Duke Simon lived. The solid stone walls where Peter had selected were two feet thick. With much pageantry, the thickness was measured and authenticated by royal services.  Sentries were posted on both sides of the wall to verity the feat.   He had a time limit of five minutes or he would be stuck in the stone forever.  He made it through in three minutes, to the crowd’s delight.

By now the crowd and Duke Simon were anticipating his third act, which some were think would have to be a miracle.  Talk of saving Constance was mentioned.   The day came, and the troupe had kept the next trick a secret.   Peter, the Great, knew that Duke Simon, would do almost anything in the name of magic by now.   In the main court hall, Peter had one large box constructed on site by his assistants to show it was real. The box was as tall as a man.  It was demonstrated the floor was solid stone.   The other part of the trick was a wooden -supported booth, as tall as a man, with a sliding curtain that went around all four sides.  Peter asked Duke Simon to come down from his throne and step in the open both.  Peter said he would make the ruler move from the booth to the enclosed wooden box.

A hush came over the room.  What was Peter really doing?  Advisers circled around the duke as Peter waited patiently, and they moved away. “I am pleased that you have selected me to participate in your next trick, but I am the judge,” Duke Simon said.

“Exactly,” said Peter promptly.

“Perhaps someone else would do?”  The Duke suggested.

“No.  I have proved myself twice before in this competition. It is a matter to trust.  You have a daughter, Constance, who is very ill, and your own doctors have not discovered any cause or cure.  I can cure her, or rather, I know how she can be cured, but you have to believe in me and who I represent.  I have pledged my life to the illusions of magic, so it appears I can walk through stone walls or shoot arrows through steel and wood.  These would be great assets in war, I know.   I believe in a higher authority, greater than any mortal.  Jesus once walked on this earth and is now at the side of his father, our God.  Whoever believes in Him will have a blessed prospers life here on earth and Heaven.  If you believe the Lord can heal your child and protect the rest of her mortal life, you will come down from your throne and stand here beside me to be covered by this curtain.   If  not, I am through with this competition, and perhaps someone else will win the prize,”  Peter declared.

The Duke just looked at Peter and slowly he pushed up himself from the arms of his chair.  He walked  to be covered by the curtain and was moved to the box to the relief of all those attending.  Guards rushed the wooden box to confirm the duke was safe and unharmed.  The winner was quickly declared and in a week Constance  was cleared of any ailment by royal doctors.  The contest  was two weeks before Christmas, and the Duke had a great feast to celebrate his good fortune and his new faith. Duke Simon and Peter remained friends for many years after this contest.

To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
Christmas means fellowship, feasting, giving and receiving, a time of good cheer and home.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
Like ornaments, thoughts of special people brighten the season and warm our hearts

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love said to me…
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
One of the nice things about Christmas is that you can make people forget the past with a present.

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love said to me…
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love said to me…
If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away.

Midnight Driver

Midnight Driver

diner.JPG

Midnight Driver 

I stopped at this restaurant after
Midnight being on the road a while,
And the first good thing I saw
Was your smile across the aisle.
After I ordered breakfast and tea,
I invited you to dine with me.
All I wanted was some conversations,
And I needed your cooperation.
It felt good to see your face greeting
Me at this unexpected time and place.
Too soon the meal was done, and
And I had to leave to get back home.
The last few months have changed my life
Since I spend more time on the road.
I may not be able to remember your name,
But memories of time together will remain.
