The Legend of Candy Cane
There once was an elf named Candy Cane
He was an elf most wise
The one all elves would go to
The one who would advise
Candy Cane himself
Was a funny looking sprite
He had hair of bright bright red
And then a beard of white
That is how those striped delights
Came to have their name
They are named after that wise elf
It was his claim to fame
That fact has been lost
People don’t remember
The elf that sweet is named after
Those that come out in December
In the olden times
Folks used to say
That to wish upon a Candy Cane
Was a way to pray
To wish upon a Candy Cane
Was a way to ask
That venerable old funny elf
To help you with a task
So if you have something
You hold deep in your heart
Maybe wish upon a Candy Cane
And let that wise elf do his part
Giant buckets of thanks to Mo for her inspiration. It is possible that Candy Cane the Elf may make several appearances this season! We shall see….
