Snitch

He sees all...

I’m moving very cautiously

in each room of my home

‘cause my parents hired out a spy,

A tricky, sneaky gnome

 

He’ll see me stealing cookies,

he’ll know if I start fights ~

that smugly smirking tattletale

in bright red, festive tights

 

My sister named him Sprinkles;

she just doesn’t have a clue,

too young to see the consequence

of what that fink can do

 

Whenever there is mischief

he can tell who is the cause

and, according to my mother,

he reports to Santa Claus!

 

So, at least for this month,

I’ll just behave myself

he’ll have no naughty news to tell,

that snitch of a shelf elf!

Author's Note

These things creep me out...

Hehehe, well if that elf is spying on me his report to Santa will read like a novel.
A really cute poem to bring smiles this holiday season

I would love to hear your elf's report, Dale! Thanks!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

So would I :))

Tell him you'll put itching powder in his festive tights if he so much as squeaks Rita - I love this - so much fun. But are you sure he isn't fitted with a wireless Hi-Def IP camera as well ?

[Rita L. Sev]

Ooh! Itching powder - good idea! ;) Thanks, Anto!

"that smugly smirking tattletale
in bright red, festive tights" - very witty mouthful Rita - brilliant

Me too! I am so creeped out by them. I say snitches get stitches!! No elf on the shelf here. Nice one Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]
