This Is Wrong, But

Rude people who think only of themselves -
I would like to sit atop mantle shelves
Yes, I know that is wrong
but it's where they belong
when they act like those impish little elves

Timothy Hicks Date: 3/1/2016 2:29:00 AM This was funny and different, Lin. Those little elves are getting quite popular during Christmas time, and I thought it clever how you turned that around, making THEM the naughty ones. Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 3/1/2016 3:13:00 AM Merci, Tim. No one is perfect so I'm sure elves(as if they exist) have their impish moments.

CayCay Lin Lane Date: 2/28/2016 10:41:00 AM I'm sorry to hear that. I've learned to ignore the rude and ignorant. If you don't open a window for an insect to escape, it will eventually die.
