Elf House in a Tree

Something we know how to do

Is build a place to hide from you

High up in the trees we climb

For scattles of years; in elfin time

So the king of elves came to me

Said build a house up in a tree

All he had to do was ask

Then the elves set to the task

A house in a tree, that’s what he said

To hide from humans that we dread

So we huddled we to whisper

To keep our plans much crisper

We need a name; what to call it?

A Tree House! That name will fit

So now our work has just begun

Hammering, singing elfin fun

A secret place high in the tree

A place where no one else can see

A place to hide for another scattle

To avoid a nasty battle

A cozy place, a place to love

High up in the tree above

Secret creatures, Elves are we

Now living high up in the tree
