Hahahahaha!!!!!!! Oh my belly! I can't stop laughing! That is one hysterical poem, and if anyone else wins this contest, I'll never know why. That second to the last stanza I never saw it coming... and you're quite the artist too! Love the picture!
I suppose that took both the Dragon part of you and the Skulls part too Ron. LOLOL
Still dying here...

    Hey, Susan, hello. Thank you so much for the awesome review and big sixer. Yeah, there's like 4 different pictures in there to come up with the one. I have an art, photo manipulation program called GIMP and I love working in that about as much as I love writing. I create a lot my own pictures. I dearly appreciate the generous rating and that you had a good chuckle at this silliness. That's all I was really going for. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend.

You sure are a naughty elf, clever and funny yes, but NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY
nonetheless. And now for a word of advice. Were I you, I think I'd change towns. I do however have one small request, I'd love nothing more than to deliver my ex-boss a similar gift. Could you come to Australia in three weeks time. I'll provide the details confidentially. It is a big white building in Canberra.

Oh how I wish I had a six to give you, but alas I don't but I most certainly will give you all the praise you deserve. What a naughty elf on the shelf who seems to use that brain to give Santa some pay back for sure. Splendid!

Such a fun poem and probably an instant classic. This need to be in a Christmas card that we can find and send to someone else who would appreciate the sentiment.

    Hahaha. Yes, I know there has to be a few people out there in the world that would appreciate my deranged sense of humor. Lol. Thank you so much for the great review and giant sixer, Bill. I really appreciate it, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

Well, this is not the jolly and shining Christmas poem one would expect. It is funny and refreshing. I love it as the rhythm and story go from a happy elf to one that is really pissed off!
Good luck in the contest. It should be a contender.
Best wishes,
Mary

Haha.. This is a fun, Christmas Bonus entry. The text is a great size. The message is stated clearly, and the rhyme scheme is on point. I will be stunned if this is not in the top of this contest. I like that this is not your typical sweet Santa entry. It's authentic and funny as hell. I had to give it a six. The visual is perfect and yucky! Good luck in the contest. I just may need to vote for this entry. Haha

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Sandra. Yeah, I had to go with something totally different like I usually do. Then this silly idea came to mind so I went with it. I dearly appreciate the generous rating and good luck wishes. Not many people on this site like the ridiculous stuff I come up most of the time so I'll keep my fingers crossed in the booth. Lol. Thank you again, Sandra. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Oh dear1 Definitely not the usual Santa poem.
Yes, it is a bit brassy and may offend some but it's also well crafted, fairly true to life and dare I say, a little funny.
Blessings

Wow. Talk about an angry, pissed off elf. Now that I've seen this picture, it's indelibly printed in my mind. Gross!! Looks like you had fun with this poem and creating your picture. Different take on a Christmas bonus, that's for sure. Meter on this is excellent and it moves right along to tell a very different Christmas tale. It's weird, but it works. Good luck in this contest.

    Lol. Yep, he was an angry bugger, all right. When I saw this contest, I thought of the movie, Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase and how he got screwed over for a Christmas bonus and tried to figure out something ridiculous if someone got like a ham instead of a huge bonus they usually get. Thank you for the great review and gracious stars. I'm glad you liked this gross piece. Lol. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

You are just as clever at creating images as you are at writing humorous poems! Your "offensive" work is very cleverly written and one has to enjoy it!!. Technically, it's smooth, with fine rhyme. But the image in my head? Not pretty!! Best wishes for this contest.

    Lol. Yes, this isn't an image you want in your head for long. Lol. Thank you for the great review and gracious stars, Wendy. I could write the plain, pretty stuff like everyone else but that just bores me. Haha. Have yourself a great weekend.
