[QUOTE="Mark, post: 598873, member: 5"] [COLOR=skyblue][size=4]Gnome of Garden Variety[/size] (from Tinkers of Tinsdale) by Gnomebert and Sillinom (Gillinom Millinom etc., etal, ad infinitum) I'm really rather partial to, the Garden Gnome variety, The others breech the dictates of a sensible society, I know the gnomes of Greyhawk, and they boast of feats beyond compare Forgotten Realms to Dragonlance, they really are extraordinaire, They have a streak ingrained in them that borders on the mischievous, But you can see how this brings on their natural adventurousness, And on their skill with metalcrafts, I've got to say they take the cake, There truly is no limit to, the wondrous items they create, I've known them all, and heard their deeds, the gnomes who lack all piety, I must say I am fonder of the Garden Gnome variety. They have a sense of comfort and are Hobbit-like in their approach, But unlike all the Baggins's, a garden gnome's beyond reproach, If they've a fault, it is their dress, it can be rather frivolous, But count on them when things go bad, remarkably so chivalrous, Perhaps you'd say they waste the day and stand around unendingly, You might as well, if round the belt, afflicted so unbendingly, Though one would think with all that time they'd border on anxiety, And may give way to thoughts that stray toward wanton impropriety, You have to give them credit for unswerving pure sobriety, Temperately stern amongst the bulbs, the Garden Gnome variety. So pardon me now, if you please, my abject selectivity, It may come off as umbrage or, unreasoned negativity, But keep your gnomes who stray from home and gain some notoriety, For my part give me, anyday, the Garden Gnome variety.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
