ELVES
by Jim Ryan

Some things about Elves

Ugh! to the Elves

Did you ever see an elf die?
first they rip off
its little green wings
then snap! go the balls
and they roll down
Madison Alley

(. .) . (. .) . (. .) . (. .) . (. .)

help!
the elves are coming
       are coming
              are coming

(gloup)

/ ? /

I donno
fellow just sink
right out from sight
in elf juice

0-00---000----000---00-0

when I was an elf
everyone called me a fairy
now I'm a man
and they call me queer
