Elf In My Stocking

I heard the sound of giggles Far late at night So went to see for myself, what was A small lil elf Tucked in my stocking to hide

Outdoor branches Intertwined so well A beautiful star holds center With branches that encircle it I see the star of David

Flowers bring joy Just like sounds of music One grows from the ground Other from the heart Both grow in that upward way

Such beautiful birds With feathers like fans Noble and smart Full of speed and flight In awe of the colors

Bright green eyes And shiny red nose A friendly buck So eager to share Ruldolph

Tangled up colors Are woven together Bright and beautiful I see just right A butterfly

Where does it go? How long is the ride? Fields and trees pass by quickly Sun shines with birds in the sky So much to see

Yellow purple green and blue Bright true colors Pulled together in a swirl With a sandy like glow Beautiful

Bright colored flowers I can’t tell how many Hallucinating brings confusion Yet the flowers are beautiful And their green leaves glow

Home on its back Like a snail on adventure And a long green tail Like a slimy lizard Its a weird looking thing
