14 Days Before Christmas...

Tis a fortnight before Christmas...
 Siobhan and myself
and all our critters are sleeping--
but not our Shelf Elf..."

15 Days Before Christmas...

16 15 days before Christmas,
 my heart in my throat,
I found Elf bathing
in our best gravy boat...

17 Days Before Christmas...

18 17 days before Christmas,
I vacuumed and dusted--
while I was mopping,
Elf and Barbie got busted.
Bummer...

18 Days Before Christmas...

19 18 Days Before Christmas,
 my hair is turning gray--
Elf is celebrating
"Yo, Devil" day...

 

19 Days Before Christmas...

20 19 Days Before Christmas,
and just my luck--
Elf is chasing the dog
with a mini Beer Truck...
(That tiny horn really grates on my nerves.)

20 Days Before Christmas...

21  20 Days Before Christmas,
and bless my soul--
I found Elf fishing
in the toilet bowl!

The Chronicles Of Just2Gypsies And The Shelf Elf 2016

On December 1st,  I thought to myself--
"Soon we'll be hearing
from that lunatic Elf..."
But 24 Days Before Christmas,
he was still on the shelf!




23 Days Before Christmas,
and I hear a shout--
Siobhan just found Elf
in the pantry, working out...






22 Days Before Christmas,
Liam says in surprise--
"Why is ol' Elf
trying to exercise?"




The answer to That
left me full of woe--
 Elf was planning Trouble,
and we had 21 days to go...







20 Days before Christmas,
I thought, with elation--
This year Elf must be
taking a Vacation!
 
 


BUT THEN....





20 Days Before Christmas,
I cried "Oh No!"--
I caught Elf pooping
on my cookie dough.

 


WHAT NEXT?!
