Once I Saw a Little Elf

Once I saw a little elf    
Right on the top of my shelf.
I gave a loud scream     
And confirmed - it wasn't my dream.
He really had a slimy skin      
And a marvelous fish-like fin.
He was eating a squishy bun       
But a greenish pink one!
He wore glasses on his eyes       
And so seemed to be quiet wise.
Gradually,  I came to know        
That he is very slovenly fellow.
He always smirked selfishly        
And used to squeal loudly.

Nowadays, I can't see that elf

As he has got disappeared by himself.

I don't want him to come again
Because he never acts like a man.

You can also see him imaginatively

But beware, he is very grumpy.
