Gnomes Post An Ordinance

The gnomes passed an ordinance saying what they would accept. Many of them ignored it for they did not want to genuflect. It’s not a choice, the queen said. Post it on the big oak trees. If a gnome does not abide, make him walk around on his weak knobby knees. That seemed kind of awful to some of the faeries and elves passing this way. I think I will move a little bit faster said a grandma pixie named McVey. I am right with you, said a grandpa parrot who knew how to circumspect. With gnomes, however, many of the wise fey never know what to expect.
