Summary: A poem about the beings that help Sinterklaus in Sweden.

The tomtes are a colorful race

And walk around with a dancer’s grace

Swift and silent they can move

But oh, how they can certainly groove

Holidays are a very special treat

As it’s another excuse to tap their feet

And show off their colorful outfits

Their parties are always a great hit

They love to love and give and share

Always handing out presents here and there

Or throwing a party in honor of someone

Always seeking the balance between work and fun

With their pointy ears and jeweled eyes

They’re hard to miss with their dwarven size

And their outfits in every shade of the rainbow

Letting them match every gemstone’s glow.
