The Singing Elf

Oh, Lord, have mercy for I am undone I'm lost and lonely please send me someone I turn and I wander and cannot believe I've lost my bearings on this Christmas eve I should be with Santa for I'm his Elf He trusts me surely he'll tell you himself I held the reindeer up there on the roof When Blitzen stepped on me with cloven hoof I fell from the house and landed in snow Then looked up in time to watch Santa go But he's got toys and schedules to keep The world is big and the snow is so deep Now I'm in a village and don't know where North Pole is that way, but I can't walk there Oh, Lord, have mercy for I am undone I'm lost and lonely please send me someone 12-8-19 Contest: The Singing Elf Sponsor: Matt Caliri
