The Gnome

by Chamalka Rupasinghe aged 12

In the garden back at my home,
There is a strange thing called a gnome.
There about fifteen gnomes outside,
And I’ve heard that they are now world wide.

They have tall and pointy hats,
And I don’t know what’s the use of that.
They have a round and sturdy tummy,
And I think they’re quite funny.

They have white beards and don’t look old,
I don’t even know if they’re bold.
They never move a single muscle,
And only hold their lovely shovel.

Some hold a bunch of flowers,
And others stand on tiny stone towers.
But in one thing they help us doing all day,
They keep all the pests in our garden away.
