THE DARKLING ELVES
~by jack prelutsky
In wildest woods,
On treetop shelves,
Sit evil beings
With evil selves.
They are the dreaded
Darkling Elves,
And they are always hungry.
In garish garb
Of capes and hoods
They wait and watch
Within their woods
To peel your flesh
And steal your goods.
For they are always hungry.
Through brightest days
And darkest nights
These terrifying
Tiny sprites
Await to strike
And take their bites.
For they are always hungry.
Watch every leaf
Of every tree.
For once they pounce,
You cannot flee.
Their teeth are sharp
As sharp can be.
And they are always hungry.
