Grandpas Missing Boot

grandpa’s boot went missing on a Tuesday night
It’s weird he told every relative in sight
I know I left it right here by the door
Some rolled their eyes, others looked on the floor

I knew the faeries had taken it, but did not tell him.
My elf friend named pal had it clutched next to his chin.
I watched them scurry it out at midnight, tis true.
But I kept a confidence for my friends Bunny and Boo.

Bunny and Boo are the elves who live in faerie fey.
They needed a house, I mean, one, right away.
Their baby was coming, and they needed this boot.
I pretended to aid grandpa and said “well, now, shoot!”
