Buddha the Passive Reindeer

Buddha the passive reindeer
Wasn't into doing much
And if you ever saw him,
You would say he ate too much.

All of the other reindeer
Used to sit and watch him grow
They never let poor Buddha
Contemplate his inner glow.

Then one boring wintry eve
Santa came to say,
"It doesn't matter much to me
If you want to be... just be."

Then all the reindeer passed him
Muttering indifferently
Buddha the passive reindeer
Was content to simply "be."
