T.O.W.
IMP TO IMP
Ounce upon a time there was an elf who wanted to be a writer
First it learned to say the A,B,Cs
Then how the letters were formed
Next syntax, as elf copied words and phrases
Sentances became paragraphs
Paragraphs became pages
Some were read, some were written
As school years passed
BUT
All were done because they were assigned
The day came when elf finished school
Then—elf realized that it wanted to keep on writing
As is well known— elfs are created for mischif
In school there were ample opportunities for mischif / writing
Then— all the writing was the over
Seers idea
Now— “out of school” was “out of assignments”
Elf knew how to write
But how could it learn to be a writer?
A plan came into the mind of elf
From the same place as the elf had come from
1. elf would write facts, like what happened day by day
2. emotiones were expressed about the facts
3. fiction writing began as facts were dreamed up
4. over the years, it just happened
Elf went from being able to write—
To being a writer
After that the problem was spelling
And getting enough mischievous into the words
much love—————resident elf
P.S. Dont forget that for imps and elves
every day is April Fools Day
