Farley the Flop Eared Elf

Farley the flop eared elf,

With ears drooping below,

At his booth by himself,

With his tatted lace to sew.

So different than the rest,

With ears pointing straight;

A flop eared elf who’d have guessed -

It seemed an unusual fate.

Such a teasing he took

From the others all the same;

And there from his tiny nook,

He hung his head in shame.

But then Santa came to call

On Farley and his fine lace;

For it seemed from in his stall,

His work had dropped off pace.

When with his own two eyes,

Santa saw on Farley’s wall;

And there knotted to his surprise,

It said, ‘Peace and Goodwill to All’.

Then the others gathered ‘round,

Now humbled were the elves,

For in those words they had found,

The difference in themselves.

Till Farley with his flop ears

Was seen at last for his heart,

And there amidst the loud cheers,

He proudly now stands apart.

PEACE AND GOODWILL TO ALL

MERRY CHRISTMAS
