Notes About The Poem

Gift For Elves

exhausted and sleepy elves, one last house on their lengthy list,
             slided down the chimney to deliver a gift, hard to resist. 
          found fun Pokemon board wide open, left probably by mistake, 
           decided to gift that game to themselves, a pleasing keepsake.
