I Want To Be a Gnome

Male gnomes are known for their tailoring and sewing skills. They live in roots of oak and pine trees at the bottom of the hills. People make appointments and they fashion them into suits. They dress giants, gargoyles green goblins and galoots. Female gnomes are known for the entertaining prowess. How can we explain this? Please forgive but allow us… They visit each other’s houses and laugh about the dust. None of them like to cook or clean, their stoves all go to rust. I want to be a gnome! I said. My daughters chimed in “yes!” But a female gnome of course. Their life would suit us best.
