The beginning of each year
Starts the toy making again
More children’s gifts to create
No vacation Elves can extend
With so very much to do
And with precious little time
Work must be shared
Tasks must be combined
In the workshop they scurry about
With festive and happy demeanor
Focused on their task at hand
Taking breaks to feed the reindeer
An assembly line keeps them moving
All needed tools at the ready
Whistling while they work
The music keeps them peppy
From each perfect little gift
To the perfect gift wrap
It’s hot cocoa and peppermint
That keeps them from collapse
Elves are hard workers
To this there is no doubt
They all have attention to detail
None suffer from burnout
Elves are careful with each gift
Each one should bring delight
To the receiver & the giver
It’s all to make the season bright
