My Resume

I couldn’t find your address, so I hope this letter makes it.

I gave it to the mailman, and I really hope he takes it

Straight up to your workshop and then hands it right to you.

I hope it’s not too forward, but I really think it’s true

That I would be the perfect fit to be offered employment

By the team that’s brought me so much laughter and enjoyment.

I hope you get this letter, and, if you are so disposed,

I hope you take a look at the credentials I’ve enclosed.

As you can tell, I like to write.  I am an avid reader.

I follow orders well, and I can be an awesome leader.

I’m really good at arts and crafts, and I think you will find

I’m an efficient worker with a sharp, creative mind!

I love to learn and think!  I always go the extra mile

To lend a friend a helping hand or make somebody smile.

My brain is full of facts and plans, but, wise as I may seem,

I still believe in magic, and my heart still loves to dream.

I work quite well with others when devoted to a task,

And I promise that I’ll always do whatever you may ask!

In my free time, I like to craft my loved ones sweet surprises.

But I hate to be present when they find their thoughtful prizes.

I’m nimble, and I’m quiet, and I’m good at hide and seek!

I really don’t mind working every hour of the week

On a job I really love that means a lot to me.

So, based on what I’ve shared, I hope it’s clear and you’ll agree

That there is not a person better suited than myself

To work with you and fill the role of your new Christmas elf.
