Rude people who think only of themselves - I would like to sit atop mantle shelves Yes, I know that is wrong but it's where they belong when they act like those impish little elves

"If mantling the rude is wrong, I don't want to be right!"... :-) Funny but so, so honest and true!

This was funny and different, Lin. Those little elves are getting quite popular during Christmas time, and I thought it clever how you turned that around, making THEM the naughty ones.

Merci, Tim. No one is perfect so I'm sure elves(as if they exist) have their impish moments.
