74.

Allowishes Elf played another prank tonight.

Paige went a-visiting and he hid from our plain sight.

Mommy looked at least five times in the dolly's house.

Mama looked three more times. He was quiet as a mouse.

We asked dear Paige just where he sat when she first left to go.

She said to me, "I'll find him, Mom. It's ok, you know."

But little elfin magic can't be done without some aide

from moms who think they're smarter than the childhood brigade.

But home she came and straight she went to little elfin's side.

And there he was right in that house by Barbie's curvy side.

Our eyes went wide, our heads did shake 'cause little did we know

that Christmas Magic was, indeed, for both the young and old.
