Herlos Is Not An Elf On the Shelf
Herlos was a snail-riding peddler elf.
He was always moving, never sat on a shelf.
Made fun of the lazy Christmas Elves for sure.
He was a natural elf, all honest and pure.
Herlos could make a deal like no other.
He quickly sold items to every American mother.
They never thought they got a bad trade at all.
He was a snail-riding elf, and much better than a mall.
The Christmas elves were jealous, but what could they do?
They were also rather spoiled, sloth-like and kind of lazy too.
They were always pristine, never fell off a snail or into a lake.
They let Herlos be himself; they stayed inside with the cake.
