We Dont Need that Kind

Mortifur, Santa’s head elf had no time to clean his house
There was snow on his porches, and his tree was undecorated.
But this was Christmas season, his busy time.
Everybody’s busy time.

He was too tired to care.
Working ten to fourteen hour days.
If the tree got decorated, good.
If he did not have to do it himself, even more good.

Anburger, a new neighbor, wanted a secret meeting
To vote Mortifur out of Elf Village for not doing his part.
He doesn’t even decorate his tree! Anburger said.

The other neighbors had their own meeting.
Decorated Morifur’s tree, cleaned his house,
and banished Anburger from Elf Village.
We don’t need that kind, they told each other.
