An Elf Like Me

What kind of an elf runs away to sulk
When he's not the best?
Who bumbles along wearing
Last night's dinner on his vest?
Insists that he's smart
When all other elves declare he's dim?
A kind of an elf like him

Head in the clouds, Bernard
Heart on the floor
Best to go back to the place you belong
Back where you were before
Time to regroup, Bernard
Time to repair
Time to go back to the poop
And the shovelling scoop
And that whiff in the air

That's where the future me
Will turn to them and say

Even a flee has prospects (What kind of an elf)
Even a skunk has flare (Doesn't realize when the world's gone wrong)
Even a reindeer, with a sleigh in tow (Who flounders around)
Can beat a crow in the air (Like a dying fish to a silly song)
So, when even a crow has prospects (You're best to rely)
Shouldn't an elf like me? (On an elf like me)
Never give up till you're up- (Which is who that elf aspires to be)

What kind of an elf
Doesn't shy away from a mucky task?
What kind of an elf answers "Yes!"
No matter what you ask?
What kind of an elf
Has the wherewithal to put this right?
An elf who'll fight and never flee?
A kind of an elf like me
