The Elf - Peter A Darkened Fairytale by William O'Brien



The Elf



Once upon a time
There was a boy with such tiny feet
Such tiny feet he had
With long, pointy toes
But how long?
Nobody knows


Shoes were a problem
They never did fit, until the elf said Hello
Bringing a needle and thread
And felt coloured green and red
Soft as sugar, sweet as clouds
Oh, green and red


All that time
With no shoes at all; all that time
The elf could have called
Why no appearance?
He was obviously there
Hidden in the wall
