Whimsical Gnome Shy and Scared
Whimsical gnome has dreams he did not tell anyone.
Afraid if his village knew, many would make fun.
A newspaper opened, and he always wanted to write.
Instead of telling them, his shyness kept him out of sight.
He wanted to teach math, but he was afraid to get a degree.
Although he is my brother, he told no one, not even me.
Fear kept him from doing things he wanted to do all his life.
Shyness kept him from ever asking a gnomette to be his wife.
