Smacky the bandwagon elf

Smacky the bandwagon elf was killed 
in a comically serious accident. And for once, 
all the other elves followed suit. In tribute 
to one
who would always think many days late,
too-hard hangers-on overcompensate best 
and fit in, into three times the crowd 
that it would have been if you'd only
gone 
before it had been quite so
completely

allowed.
