Poem of the Home Gnome

Darlene De Beaulieu graciously consented for her poem "Gnomes" to be used by me in this contest. Thank you Darlene!
There’s no gnome like the gnome at home. I have a gnome at home alone. Chantilly, Chris, or Charlie - they’re friends for you and me. Your tumbler sweet sure is neat to greet you no matter where is the street, but remember no gnome is known like the gnome that waits at home. Gnomes – Darlene de Beaulieu I love the gnomes I m drawn to them One time I had twelve I named all of them I named him Chris He holds a gift for me Another one I named Charlie I have a tumbler With gnomes and hearts shapes When waiting in a line It called out to me So I bought it I take my tumbler everywhere I go

A part German heritage. LOL I'm glad it is fun, as intended. A great day after some rains yesterday. Going to do a little gardening today. Hope yours is going well. :)
