I am an elf......

proud of myself....

tiny and wiry......

angry and spicy. ...

it is not a problem ...I guess....

except....when people mistake...

it for something else. ....

a crazy streak....no ..please. ..

up and down ....my hands flail.....

it does lead to a scare.......;)

.

You see......

I once took fancy to a cookie jar.....

up on a shelf. ....

It was filled with delicious cookies.

of all kinds.....

I thought. ...I will have a few. ...

no one will mind.....

but a mistake ....it was. .....

(thinking in rewind. ....)

so there was I...a little elf....

climbing up the shelf......

heaving ....panting.........

when a cat. ..came scampering. ....

out of the blue......

Oh....my....I was doomed......

it vroomed. ....

in my direction.......

fast forward......zoom......!!

I jumped down........

ran for my life.........

the cat..was quick...and not very nice...

I...the little elf.....showcased. .

..a few moves of jujitsu. ....

the cat ran......in pain....

...it yelped for help....

but none came.....yay !!

So.....then...

nursing an empty stomach....

bruised hands.......and ego....

I bailed.......

having failed. .....

but smiling a cheeky smile. ....

the cat won't forget me......

for a while. ...

My jujitsu. ....elf style.....;)
