Elves



Carol of the Elves

Mrs. Claus, this time of year,

Is busy loading shelves

With lots of toys for girls and boys,

Each made by Santa's elves.


The workshop is a-bustle-ing,

Each has his job to do;

The elves are working 'round the clock

To make a toy for you!


Linder puts the benders on

The toys that spring or hop;

Joy makes wings and all the things

That whistle, toot, or pop.


Jamie, Joe and Malachi

Put knees upon the gnus;

Cleo, Mortimer and Jack

Put tunes inside kazoos.


Fifi, Jean-Claude and Babette

Put feathers on chapeaux;

Wolfgang, Inge and Marie

Make all the lederhose!


Ev’ry stitch is made by hand

And ev’ry tie is tied

By tiny elves whose skill is matched

By giant elfish pride!


But after all the elves are through,

There’s one more thing to do:

Santa puts the love inside

Each toy he brings to you!


-Robert Bode from Crickets and Comas










Ho! Ho! Ho! My thanks to all the elves of the world. May your stockings be filled with joy and laughter. Merry Christmas!
