Enslaved for years
The elf was a sad bloke
Drenched in tears
His life seemed a joke
But one surprising day
He woke up to a gift
Like Christmas in May!
But it was light to lift
He wondered what it could be
Hesitatingly he opened the box
From his owner a pair of socks!
( I guess only Harry Potter readers will get it!)
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Mystery Box.”
Thanks for the chuckle! I’ve read quite a few responses to this particular prompt and this is the first one that didn’t assume the ‘surprise’ would be a bad one. Good job!
Ah thanks! Glad it got a laugh out of you!
