The Elf that Ventured to School

Once ’twas a mischievous elf,
Whom had a schoolroom to himself,
He thought it was a bundle of fun,
To watch sparkling red glitter glue run!

He hid amongst dictionaries and other books,
Enjoyed the element of surprise he had in other nooks,
Left kids notes and symbols with many a pen,
Whilst creating his little unique trail of mayhem…

For he created confetti snow and had wild parties with toys,
This Elf on the Shelf's wanting to be a children’s delight,
Gaming on the computers, solving Christmas equations,
And generally enjoying his schoolroom fortnight…

The children however thought he’d gone nuts,
Their annual game of find the elf had turned to guessing “what’s he doing next?”
For when an elf decides to attempt baking a birthday cake,
The results can leave some slightly perplexed…

Eventually the school year finally found it’s end,
The Elf returning to his expected plans to create fun,
Hiding amongst the baubles on the tree and riding on the deer,
Doing his bit to inspire a daily element of Christmas cheer.
