there was a little elf a clever elf was he
he lived in the woods beneath a big oak tree
with a suit of green and very very small
a lovely little chap only three foot tall.

he liked writing poems for all his friends to read
a friendly little a chap very kind indeed
they would gather round as he told his  rhyme
he would make them happy and help to pass the time.

reading all day long then into the night
then he would fall asleep beneath the bright moonlight
