If you asked me if I was very fond of Elmo,
A famous muppet worn up to the elbow,
I would reply quickly with a confident "Hell, no!"
And proceed to compare him to shrieking red jello.
But below all that fur is a passionate man,
Who grew up doing voices, sewing puppets by hand.
It's a hobby that no one would dare to call bland,
But of course not an interest we all understand.
He practiced day and night on his creature creations,
And soon worked kids' shows on small TV stations.
The road to Sesame Street, well, it takes dedication,
And soon he earned Jim Henson's admiration.
I once thought Elmo was kind of a bore.
Just a "Tickle-Me" toy propped up in a store.
But's he's a symbol of love that millions adore,
And a hard working guy crouched down on the floor.
