Elvin the Elf

Elvin was a tiny Christmas elf
Ignored and hidden high on a shelf
One day as he peeped out
He fell by the dogs snout
Now the dog had the elf to himself

I loved your limerick Tania. It made me laugh. We have been hiding our elf all over the place for my granddaughter to find. She really delights in the fact that he moves around and she can hunt for him every day. I will have to show her your limerick. She is 9 1/2. Congratulations on your well-deserved win. Blessings xxoo

what a hoot, also hope the dog did not eat the elf, hopeful that he put it with his other toys.
