Well, you just have to give an elf it's moment of fun, sometimes. Great Limerick.

Thank you. I thought he was funny when he hopped up and made me do a little autobiography about him. He was a haughty one, that.

Caren, I enjoyed the humor. Ran the second line through two syllable counters. One said 11 and the other said 12. But for this, your great entry would have placed higher. Competition for this contest was awesome and you did a great job. Thanks for supporting the contest with your witty verse. Best wishes for the holidays, Carolyn

I probably say things in a different way than others. I rarely use the syllable counter, but it was FUN to rise to the occasion. Keep throwing those contests our way, Carolyn!

And you know there was some snotty-ness and uppity-looks and some mean stuff going on first before the forgiveness landed on him, right?
