The Garden Gnomes

Leafy ferns and little frogs Toads live in the garden Weeds and grass and daffodils And poop...I beg your pardon Yes poop is in there from the cat That roams around the houses Just pick it out or grind it in It should be full of mouses (meeces or mice) There's ceramic figurines in there Little deers and little dogs To go along with little stones And plastic little logs But, beware the garden gnome A treacherous beast is he With evil eyes and long white beard He is plotting after thee The garden gnome looks daffy In his jacket and his hat But, look deep in the gnomey eyes And you'll see just where he's at There's rubbish blown from up the road Candy wrappers and old tins The neighbor kids are lazy so, They never throw it in the bins The cat lies sunning lazily Beneath a summer sun of gold With it's job of chasing meeces down For a while, put on hold There's ivy, climbing everywhere And things you can not tell They got there from the squirrels But you keep them for the smell But, beware the garden gnome A treacherous beast is he With evil eyes and long white beard He is plotting after thee The garden gnome looks daffy In his jacket and his hat But, look deep in the gnomey eyes And you'll see just where he's at You tend the garden lovingly Moving figures in and out You never move the gnomes too much Too much trouble, I won't doubt You transplant flowers, move some trees Cut the weeds back, till the soil You head inside, the whistle blows The kettles on the boil While you are gone, something goes on The gnomes attack the cat You come back out, and wonder why The gnome has lost his hat yes, beware the garden gnome A treacherous beast is he With evil eyes and long white beard He is plotting after thee The garden gnome looks daffy In his jacket and his hat But, look deep in the gnomey eyes And you'll see he's looking at the cat!!
