Elves

ELVES


Skipping down the street they come  -
Tomorrow’s engineers and psychiatrists,
And journeys out of this world for some,
Or professors at college if dad insists.


But for the moment they’re dressed as elves
And fairy princesses  -
Quite unconscious of themselves
And their minds’ latent recesses.
