Gnomes

 







 Gnomes are everywhere these days

live in knots in trees

hear them up there whistling

shake me to my knees. 


Never knew they were up there

then when my house was built

noticed that the nails were bent

wood gnashed trim trashed


odd smells. 


Door knobs all aflutter

don't quite open close

knocks echoing at midnight

the floor creaking


Hello?


Gnats are rushing round my head

I gnash my teeth at night

found a tube of nitrous


a dental date ...

was nice. 


Take my bottle everywhere

labeled it O2

helps me interact with folks

I won an old Gnu. 


Forget the bell it knells or not

depending on the gnome

but my place is doing well

Who Gnu loves its new home.


It pays to have a dentist

can't always fix my teeth

but always shares a tank or two

mint floss sweet tongue relief.
