A squadron of wild shoots and greens, plum tomatoes soaked in brine a tad of this a tad of that and suddenly you got something quite divine A fleet of mushrooms, a pound of four leaf clovers, a pinch of fever few and soon you'll have them lining up, for a bowl of that flavorful stew... Inner bark of cinnamon a sprig of thyme, don't forget to lick the spoon and if you prep it nice and early, it shall be ready by half past noon Perhaps he's just a crazy elf throwing caution to the wind, wink wink! but as far as I know, this stew can only be eaten aside a good stiff drink So go ahead ask the mountain gnome to leave you some on your porch and try not to cry when you taste it, even if it's hotter than a blow torch Chili peppers hotter than the beef side of hell, go ahead sit for a spell eat some and soon you'll be walking funny, all zig-zag and pell-mell.

Elf Stew
A squadron of wild shoots and greens, plum tomatoes soaked in brine a tad of this a tad of that and suddenly you got something quite divine A fleet of mushrooms, a pound of four leaf clovers, a pinch of fever few and soon you'll have them lining up, for a bowl of that flavorful stew... Inner bark of cinnamon a sprig of thyme, don't forget to lick the spoon and if you prep it nice and early, it shall be ready by half past noon Perhaps he's just a crazy elf throwing caution to the wind, wink wink! but as far as I know, this stew can only be eaten aside a good stiff drink So go ahead ask the mountain gnome to leave you some on your porch and try not to cry when you taste it, even if it's hotter than a blow torch Chili peppers hotter than the beef side of hell, go ahead sit for a spell eat some and soon you'll be walking funny, all zig-zag and pell-mell.
