Old Gnome Built Home On Dragon

old gnome built his home on the back of a dragon named Pete.
that is terrific! Elves and faeries told him, that truly is neat!
unless I want to go somewhere he does not want me to go.
he keeps me here with his tail, his glare, and his big toe.

you are kind of a prisoner in your house, Mr. Gnome?
yes, he told them. He keeps me close to his view, right next to my home.
what if you want to have a vacation or go on a trip?
he shows me his teeth, and he makes my pants rip.

how does he do that? asked a young elf named Sir Grim.
his disapproval somehow scares the seam right out of them.
how long will you live in this kind of strife?
I am afraid I am stuck on Pete until the end of my life.
