On Christmas morn’ she sailed the waves,
A crew that included Jacks, Aarons and Daves.

The skies were bright blue, all sunny and clear,
When all of a sudden, the bad did appear.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; “][cs_row style=”margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; ” inner_container=”true”][cs_column style=”padding: 0px; ” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″][cs_text text_align=”center-text”] 

Where once he had sat
all sweet on the shelf,
A towering giant named
Rizzo the Elf.

Walking the plank
was the route of the crew,
Rizzo waved his sharp weapon,
Oh!

Drew and Ed,
Dean and Greg,
marched down the timber,
leg by leg.

He speared on his  trident,
poking them on,
Who will save them?

A long legged shepherd, and her sidekick “The Ears”.

“Don’t hurt the crew”, the shepherd proclaimed,
If you don’t step away, you will surely be maimed!
They sniffed and they licked until they were clear,
The tall evil elf was quite nothing to fear.

Cold and stiff

Nose? What’s wrong with my nose?

Look at her if you wanna talk about noses…..

It snowed… big fat fluffy white snow….

Elf? What elf?

Ok,, so it was 70 degrees…. but as for the elf… I didn’t kill him! Ask ol’ big ears over there!

Yep, it snowed.. just like ol’ long legs said. There we were, just minding our own business and this white stuff starting falling from above… Last time I saw that elf, he was hanging out on the couch.

Checking the surveillance cams we see that elf … along with Doug, eyeglasses all askew. Is Doug asleep? Is that a black eye? Is this a case of elf bashing?
