Hide and Seek

I laugh, I run, I can hardly wait To catch you hiding behind the gate. I turn the corner, but to my surprise, I don't find myself looking into your eyes The trees start to snigger; I look to and fro, Only to have myself hit in the head with some snow.

I spin around, as angry as can be, And I find you up there, laughing along with the trees. I let out a growl, and scoop up some fluff. Then I throw it at you, but it wasn't enough. You're still up there, standing up in the tree Pointing and laughing your head off at me.

From my place on the ground, I curse and I glare Hoping, just hoping to give you a scare. But I know that I failed, and as my eyes narrow, Everything quiets, even the sparrows. Before you know it, I'm up in the tree And now you stand there, gawking at me.

So I just push you, and I watch you go. With a satisfying THUMP!, you land face down in the snow. I start to snigger, the trees join in, too. Can't you see, dear brother, we are laughing at you? You stand up on the snow, a look of pure shock on your face. Who ever heard of an Elf without any grace?

Suddenly, you cock your head I listen, too, and I know we're dead. Then up comes father, and unfortunately, He looks up and he sees me. So you climb up, his eyebrows crease. And so we run off through the trees.

We laugh, we run, we can hardly wait To surprise out dad when he passes the gate.
