Self

He met an elf
Intent on self.
Taking her down
From the shelf
He did forsake the straight path
And with a bitter laugh
In self
Man and elf
Drowned.

    Your poem reminded me of a long-ago memory that made me smile. When my daughter was young, she couldn’t say “s,” but she was very independent. She’d look up at me and say, “I do it my own elf.” It usually ended up with mom cleaning up a mess. 🙂
