Elf Helps Spread the Word

If I was as big as a Tyrannosaurus Rex
I would go to Paris and hug the Eiffel Tower
You might scare people, her husband suggested

I would not look like a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
I would just be as big as one
How would that scare anyone? she asked him

I would be scared of a hundred foot woman, he said.
She rolled her eyes at her husband.
I know, she said. For you are scared even of me.

he did not know where to go with this,
since she held grudges, he quietly tiptoed into the living room
where his beer was waiting
