Little Red Fuzzy Monster

He's a friend to us all
A child cute and small
But not just another face-
His role's much more profound
Master of those puppy eyes
Never cheats, almost never lies
So much to teach us
Yet so much to learn
Oh Elmo, we thank you
For being there, through and through
Keep your innocence with you
and enlighten us with your ways.

I LOVE ELMO, YES I DO

I love Elmo, yes I do.
I love Elmo, yes it's true.
Elmo is red, Elmo is fluffy,
I love him so much I can't get enoughy.

I watch Elmo everyday,
I worship him in every way,
I like his laugh, it's very cute,
I'm gonna buy an Elmo suit.

I love Elmo, he's so cool,
I take him with me to my school,
everyone there thinks I'm mad,
but I don't care 'cos
I LOVE ELMO.

ELMO

you're red and furry
you're lovable and cute
you're sweet and good
you're one of a kind
you're ELMO

An Elmo Poem

Elmo is nice
He doesn't have lice
He's funny and has money
He's red andhe said
"Oh that tickles"
And he doesn't like pickles!

elmo's sonnet

our elmo knows we love him so,
but he's as humble as he is red.
we love the way his gentle eyes
o'er perch his (non-ticklish) head.

he wrote the lyrics, and the tune,
to his john lennon-esque song.
but that is a compliment to john,
for we've loved elmo just as long.

is there as wonderful a puppet,
that doesn't have a hand stuck up it?
