"The Darkling Elves" by Jack Prelutsky
In wildest woods, on treetop shelves,
sit evil beings with evil selves–
they are the dreaded darkling elves
and they are always hungry.
In garish garb of capes and hoods,
they wait and watch within their woods
to peel your flesh and steal your goods
for they are always hungry.
Through brightest days and darkest nights
these terrifying tiny sprites
await to strike and take their bites
for they are always hungry.
Watch every leaf of every tree,
for once they pounce you cannot flee–
their teeth are sharp as sharp can be…
and they are always hungry.
