Poem
We had a garden gnome named Griselda the bane of our small bungalow she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene the worst that you ever could know! Her garden mate, Gregor, had feared her but one day he mustered the nerve with all of our backing, to send the girl packing with cleverness, cunning and verve. But she was vindictive by nature and wouldn't let 'bygones' be gone if it took all her years, she would stir up our fears her plans were all plotted and drawn. She waited 'til we'd quite forgotten her villainous, vile, evil reign then with fierce aggression, she took bold possession of our lovely, dear, docile domain. She poisoned the pansies and lilies and shredded the sweet climbing vines she disturbed my repose, when she broke the windows with a shriek that sent chills up my spine. She tore down my front porch swing shattering the flowerpots and planters mad wreckage in her wake, as she sought all to break taking off to the back at a canter. I squared off to defend my back garden grabbed whatever I thought I might wield at first, on my guard, as I entered the yard I found she was hardly concealed... And 'though she seemed alone in the garden I soon found that I was mistaken for, succinctly put- I was bound head to foot and carried off, unhurt but shaken. Griselda had built quite an army it seems, in her time far away for gremlins and trolls, from the caves to the knolls were under her terrible sway. They answered her orders directly and smugly, she smiled and she smirked a gleam in her eyes as she planned my demise as her minions continued to work... Heaving in stones from the quarry they were piling them higher and higher and my strength gave away as to my dismay I saw they were building a pyre! But Gregor'd escaped all their notice as he'd hid 'neath the back garden shed and despite his wee size, he would prove her demise at his bellow, her company fled. He used a cheap trick, an enchantment that he bought from an old witch named Rue and it seemed there were thousands (as far as the eye scanned) of Gregors that came into view! Her face was distorted with terror and she promised that she'd stay away and off like a blip- she jumped on a ship and sailed to somewhere near Bombay.
