My Little Reminder
I'm giving you this present.
It's a little garden elf.
I feel he's kinda special,
cause I created him myself!
Please put him in your garden,
but there's something you should know.
He isn't gonna do no work!
He'll just stand and watch things grow!
He has a tiny silver shovel.
His suit is green as grass.
I think he'll give your garden,
a little touch of class.
He'll create a cheerful presence,
with his rosy cheeks and chin.
He'll catch the eye of the passer-by
with his playful, impish grin!
He's a sturdy little fellow.
Just you wait and see
and every time you look at him,
I hope you'll think of me!
