BOOK SHELF
Form:
A giggle escaped from the shelf
as Santa was tossing himself,
his face very red,
'I'm coming,' he said
and smirking, he shot on the elf.
i love to read
the mind feed
its a deed
got room
make books your tune
let the gloon
so you can get a stand
lock in with belt
a
BOOK SHELF
the book beyond the shelf
- alludes us
- teases us
we seek its meaning
but its pages are blank
yellow with age
red with rage
without meaning
Elf on a shelf watching.
I think he reports my every move.
Santa’s spies have eyes everywhere.

HANG ON A
BOOK SHELF
There was once an elf on a shelf
All alone he played with himself
With a tub full of grease
And a glove he found peace
Alone on his shelf this young elf
for your reference
i'm an open book
but you can't check me out
i'm an open book
but sorry
i'm closed right now
please
come again
don't stop asking
Doohickey thought she should wear the crown
Gizmo huffed off in her greenish gown
Dofunny Dingus laughed and got crazy sick
Steam on the What-not-shelf was truly thick.
A lazy long-haired packer in a shop,
Lent against a wall to have a quiet stop,
He felt a scraping on his crown
Waking from his nap upside down,
Someone was using his head as a mop.
Have your shelf, a merry little bookcase,
because you know it's true
Your books are piling up
and you don't know what to do....
So have your shelf
a merry little library.....too
You must immediately take that elf off the shelf!
But why? The shopkeeper asked. What’s the reason?
Because he my most productive candle selling elf
And it is the Black Friday slash Christmas season.
My soul is on your shelf,
Nobody's catching that.
Next to your photo frame,
Which gives me a heart attack.
Did you wanna tell me something?
Oh, I could make it clear.
Open the door, B-I-R-D-I-E,
My soul is on your shelf.
Pitcher on the shelf
In your scared body covered with paint
The capacity to love and live again remain
Caught trapped from years of abuse
Hurt impossible to explain
Even family can't see through to the pain
Right will win but when
1950’s walnut what-knot-shelf
small compartments with tiny doodads
crystal doohickeys and miniature thimbles
variety of teensy ceramic trinkets
displayed in woman’s living room
every mother I knew had one back in the day
1950’s go-to accessory for the modern woman
The elf on the shelf is most happy
Without being overly sappy
He smiles at us all,
When he is on call
Doing a fine job for our pappy.

Acorn
By the side of the road
Abandoned
Bird's nest
In the middle of the road
Each with a story,
They draw my eye to them
Home I furnish for them
........Together
On my shelf
one day,
I fell off the shelf,
broke into many pieces,
hands swept me away
and dumped me into a
plastic garbage bin
to be picked up by
a refuge truck on
Friday and delivered
for burial at the
junkheap of abandoned
hearts where cries are
not heard

Finest elf on the shelf traveled around.
Living room? Den? Could he always be found?
Once in the bathroom – he nearly was drowned.
Last year his body was buried half underground.
One time he was hidden in a sweet gooey cookie mound.
Beside an empty glass of milk which Santa had downed.
Good morning bookstore owner,
here my new book is a loaner.
It is a must read,
it will turn your young readers head.
It is about silly yellow ducks not red,
shaking their feathers and counting ahead.
The kids will love this fun book,
fill your shelf so they can take a look.
There was a man from Thomaston
Of real good vision he had none
Glasses weren't any help
They sat upon the shelf
From his surgery he's left stunned
My husband has had cataract surgery this week..
He says that he can't see any better out of the eye
upon which he had surgery.
The Elf on the Shelf gets fired
for his unwise behavior.
Now he’s out for revenge.
ELF OFF THE SHELF
The elf he got sacked so he decides
on Christmas Eve he’s justified
to catch all the gifts
because of the rift
but Santa does pin him underside

we sit on the what knot shelf
thinking we are all that the first week
feeling the woman’s excitement in finding us
But week after week goes by
the glass doors open and she pushes in new finds
thimbles, bells, miniatures, marbles,
most of us have not been taken out since day one
when she was excited to purchase us
Big elf on the shelf, he let out a rumb’,
so loud, that the kid saw a cookie crumb’
and milk overturn.
Elf’s rump in a burn
and Christmas smells bad from the elfish fumb’.

A Fun Holiday Limerick
Sponsor: Tania Kitchin
To keep the lines to 10 syllables -
rumb’, crumb’, and fumb’ =
rumble, crumble and fumble
I have a little ninja,
I keep it on the shelf.
It’s not exactly quiet;
I wish it came in stealth.
The things that you can use it for!
There is no lack of wealth.
It even makes fresh pizza dough
And smoothies for your health.
Sometimes, I like to chop things up
When I can’t help myself.
We are a blended family now;
I puréed my Christmas elf.
