My Gnomes

I enjoy my gnomes
They live in my garden
Every day I look out
Keeping watch on them
To make sure they're safe
g
Each one has a name
Jack the mountain climber
He scales the alps at a slow pace
Never reaches the top
Yet he never gives up

Tom is happy to play soccer
He plays every day
Rain or shine he goes
To join his team mates
On the soccer field

Fred is a magician
He practices all the time
For a show twice a week
It's for the sick children
They enjoy his many talents

These are my gnomes
Each one is special
Doing their own thing
Each enjoy a different role
passing time in my garden
