Very GOOD! These are fun to read!

At the end of the one for Texans, though, I think it's spelled, "Y'all!" (But that wouldn't fit the rhythm, would it?!)

Thanks for sharing! Did anyone notice it says Donder instead of Donner? lol.

Apparently the original poem says Dunder and Blixem. This article has some interesting history and speculation about the name changes.

I learned the poem as Donder and Blitzen.

I learned it as Donder and Blitzen, too.

thank you
