Elf Poems

The Loneliest Elf

He was Santa's unknown Elf
That they hid in a thicket
Cuz he worked all by himself 
They called him Chimney Cricket 

On the night of Christmas Eve 
He's the first one down the chute
Using nothing but his sleeve
So not to soil Santa's suit

When finishing his cookie
Santa's up the chute again 
Every day since a rookie
He was

is that an elf gnome or faerie

she was sitting on her bumble bee
singing a rumble dumble tumble ditty
is that an elf, gnome or a faerie?
This was asked by far-sighted Grandma Tee.

She is a faerie, said her granddaughter Zee.
How do you know? Asked Grandma Tee
She has faerie wings, replied little Zee
You are so bright! Said Grandma Tee.

The Thimble of an Elf

I wear a thimble to protect me from blows
I can't see the enemy,
But I got to fight anyway I suppose.

My thimble's a bit battered
Worn down by old wounds
I might need to get a new one
Till then this will do.

My kingdom depends on me
I guess so,
Haven't heard from them in many moons.

I fight, waving about a

wise old elf is self taught

That old elf is unschooled, but he taught himself
Has more knowledge than books on a librarian’s shelf
We call him the amazing wizened elf, for he is you see.
Much brighter than my siblings, actually, my whole family.

He can do better surgery than most doctors can do
A self-taught veterinarian, he saved a sheep’s life too
Old elf is

SANDY MEETS TINKER BELL

Oh, what a crisp, beautiful morning,
Surely this will be a wonderful day,
For every cloud that we will see
On our way, I’ll wish for a silver lining,
Designed just for you and me.

Adventure was nearing, I felt it in my bones,
I want Sandy to have an unforgettable day, 
Hey Sandy, did you see that Unicorn,
It was white

brownie elf gnome pixie and fey

Brownie, elf, gnome, pixie and fey
Walked to large mushroom store on the bay
Met a grouchy gargoyle along the way
He was made of concrete, all gravelly gray

Holiday Fun

Santa sang as he approached the streets.
Couldn't wait to give out some treats.
From the window, he looked East.
He saw there was a feast.
Rode back and had all the sweets.

Frosty got so bored inside on a Monday.
He came out and walked along the way.
He had put on new glasses.
Stood beside a campfire outside the classes.
He cried

Holiday Fun

Frosty the snowman needed therapy.
There's a problem with my olfactory.
No matter what scent wafts by,
Or what cologne that I try,
It's only carrots I smell, don't you see?


There once was an elf by the name of Zig.
Who, unlike the rest of the elves, grew big!
Rather than stay and not fit, 
He stowed on the sleigh and

Passing Elf on Beach

Walking on the beach was a Christmas elf
Her ears were not pointed, but she had a faerie like look
With bright blue eyes and golden hair,
She gave us a wink as we passed her.
And we knew….

There was something special about her
She was definitely from the fey
Possibly from a meadow village in Dublin
I felt her Celtic ancestry

Wood Carved Elf

A wood carved elf
placed on a shelf,
his bones began to tingle.
He said to himself,
I'll jump off the shelf
to work for old Kris Kringle.

Holiday Fun Elf Limericks

Santa is ready for the big night,
Rudolph's red nose is really bright.
Santa's bag is toy filled,
that elf is unskilled.
The ground is covered in snow of white.

 
Elf's are funny and cute but very small,
always asking Santa to make them tall.
He said eat lots of fish,
as you make this tall wish.
Santa gave them all a new

Lonely Christmas Elf

There once was a lonely Christmas elf
who could not do it all by herself.
She said, "I must need a boy", 
and sadly put back the toy
she was making to the workshop shelf.  

While she strolled with Rudolf one snowy day, 
that reindeer who would lead Santa's new sleigh,
they met Frosty the snowman.
The wee elf

Canadian Elf

A sprite little pixie from Guelph
has made quite a name for herself.
She took a long stroll
up to the North Pole.
Now she's Santa's Canadian elf.

THE ELF AND THE CANDLES

In the bookstore we usually wait until after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas decorations 
(Thanksgiving being a holiday we don’t want to forget).
but this year we decided to decorate early…figuring
we need all the Christmas we can get.

Which means our decorations are up…and two of them are specifically worth noting…
Buddy, our elf is hidden on
