There’s an Elf….

There’s an Elf amongst my ornaments…

beside my porcelain doll,

it’s hanging by a carousel,

where next may not be droll.

***

There’s an Elf upon my Freezer,

Hiding by the grog!

Snuggled in a bowl of gemstones,

Now it’s sitting on a log.
***

There’s an Elf hiding in the schoolroom,

crouched beside the printer,

Balanced on a library book,

Let’s hope that shelf doesn’t leave a splinter!
***

There’s an Elf amongst the basketballs!

And now they’re in a shoe!

It’s hiding amongst the teddy bears,

Where next who has a clue!

***

We’ve found him in a tissue box,

And sitting by the keys,

They’ve hidden in a watering can,

Does this Elf just do as they please?

***

There’s an Elf upon an Emu egg!

Let’s hope it doesn’t crack!

And hiding in a box of candles,

Look they’re on the reindeer’s back!

***

There’s an Elf hanging on the garland,

And one stuck in the blinds!

Hiding in the children’s wardrobe,

Out to enchant their growing minds.

***

There’s an Elf amongst the cookies,

Awaiting Santa Clause,

Upon their return next Christmas season,

There’s bound to be applause.
