"LIL' WRITERS ELF"

I am working late tonight,
And I don't want to write,
But that lil' elf inside wants me to do whats right,
He makes me write no matter whether its dark or light.

How do I stop him?
I haven't a whim,
He is almost a teacher,
Making me write features,
I can't get away,
As he lives within my gray,
Maybe if I ask the guy with the red sleigh,
He can help me even partway.

But the above does not seem to be the way it is to be,
As this lil' writers elf cannot see,
How tired he makes me,
I really do love him dear,
As without him I am clearly,
I find, a writer that is dreary,
He really and truly helps me sincerely,
But I find his pushing me to adhere,
Makes me all the more unwilling to hear.
