- Another Computer Bites The Dust -

“A dwarfish imp inhabiting the interior parts of the earth,

And having very special powers.

These Gnomes were common enough in the 1700s,

And many saw them scampering on the hills in the evening twilight.”

Ambrose Bierce

I should have known better

Than to mess with my wily wife

She didn’t like my gnome warnings

She has now caused me much strife

While I was out walking in the woods

She let a gnome sit at my computer desk

And this creature has caused me much grief

He’s turned out to be a real devilish little pest

This gnome somehow crashed my computer

I could no longer get it to work correctly at all

I disgustedly soon found myself driving to town

I now had to buy a brand new computer at the mall

And on my way back home from my very long, exasperating trip

I drove this devil of a gnome out to the woods, and I left him there

I know many still don’t believe me about these very fiendish creatures

But I’m telling you, of these cunning little lawn ornaments –BEWARE

And I have a feeling that I haven’t seen the last of this mooning gnome,

But I’ve got a surprise waiting for him, when this devil sneaks back home.
