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 man 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
the he would fall asleep beneath the bright moonlight
