Gnomes

with a special thanks to ROARKE for the last line

So....I was out cutting the grass the other day.

I don't like to say "mowing my lawn",just sounds weird.

Like a naked fat man fondling my yard. anyway,it was

then that I noticed my garden gnomes were missing.

I heard a noise coming from the other sides of my

neighbors fence.They put it up over a property dispute

when I wanted to put in a paper hanger for my airplanes.

Anyway, I looked through the peephole they had installed to keep an eye on me,

when I heard it again. I guess the lady of the house was doing 

a home church meeting from all the "OH GOD"s that I was hearing.

Then I got a phone call so I moved away from the recital so as not to disturb the parishioners.

when I got back there was a gnome holding a tomato guarding that fence like

it was Buckingham Palace. He was there every day since.

The kicker is I don't even grow gnomes.

Just the title and the word Gnomes already gives this piece plenty of slant...it's a fresh kinda crazy. For the last line I was hoping you'd said and the kicker is, I don't even grow Gnomes..... but cool nano moment anyway. Enjoyed it.

AHh that would have been special...may I borrow it from you? :)

[roarke]

do your checks bounce? Is that your monkey? sure. I gotta tree full a gnomes and genomes out back....

I loved this; particularly that line, 'I looked through the peephole they had installed to keep an eye on me,' something I shamefully confess I have been guilty of doing.

Wickedly enjoyable! Beccy.
