'Twas three days before Christmas, when in the North Pole,
Elfered discovered a tragedy lo.
While preparing trees to ship to Elbonia,
He found they had wrongly been shipped to Cal'fornia!

"Alas and alak!" he cried in dismay.
"The children will lack trees upon Christmas Day!"
While all of these thoughts were held in his mind,
He found an idea he figured sublime.

He found the one elf who had stayed late at work,
convinced him to stop his job on postalwork.
The elf help Elfered to meet his big quota
before he retired to ol' North Dakota.

And you are that elf, one week left to work!
You are almost done with your job as a desk clerk.
Finish this task and prepare to retire
and help fix this situation oh most dire.
