What The Elves Do, Christmas Eve

I wonder what the Elves do,
When Santa gets on his sleigh?
Do they play with toys and all make noise,
While the Big Guy is away?

Do the Elves get a chance to breathe easier,
Or do they just collapse?
Do they rush to the phones to call relatives,
Or catch up on their naps?

If I were an Elf at Christmas
I’d take in a good breath of air,
I’d kneel down in a quiet corner,
And I’d offer up a prayer.

“Happy Birthday, Jesus!
The year is nearly past,
We’ve been almost too busy,
To think of you at last.”

“Enjoy your birthday, Jesus,
We’ve tried for Peace once more,
We haven’t had much better luck,
Than we have had before.”

“But we will keep on trying,
To give the gift you’d like,
Much better than Susy’s little doll,
Or Tommy’s brand new bike.”

“You know the children love you,
And we do what we can.
Someday we know it will come true,
We’re following your plan!”
