The Closet Elves

As you sleep they raid your home
They are much smaller than a gnome
So quick to sew with pins and thread
Tightening those hems while you’re in bed
It couldn’t have been that pumpkin pie
That cinched these pants so tight in the thigh
It must have been those closet elves
That shrunk your clothes up on your shelves
For just last week they fit just right
But now your jeans fit much too tight
