I am not an Elf!

I am a Leprechaun!

            How dare you,

I say.

            How dare you!

I yell.

 

My rosy cheeks are burnt permanently on by the sun.

I spent all my time chasing rainbows.

I lost my pot of gold on a dream.

 

Well, yes I do make cookies,

I say in response.

            Well, I do have an affinity for shoes,

I mumble,

            but I do not make them, I just wear them.

 

            Alright, I can see how you made the mistake,

I rescind.

            I do live in a tree.

            We are both short.

            And we both wear green on a regular basis.

           

I stop to think.

            Well, can I take you out for a cold green one?

I inquire.

            We would make beautiful little babies.

I probe. 

 

            NO?!  What do you mean no? 

I yelp.

            Oh, you’re gay. 

I relinquish. 

            I can accept that.
