Ed I hope you don't mind but I was inspired by your Gnome series

Yes we be Gnomes that goes without dispute
There are many humans who even think us cute
We might be a bit small for a full stache and beard
But we are not the creatures you hated and feared

You spoke of computer sabotage and devilish pranks
Blaming us like we were teens performing phone cranks
You think of us as inhumane and spiteful wretches
But who was it who sent out the first catchers

You trapped us and carried us from our home
Because you desired a lawn ornament Gnome
We were chased across our lands and valleys too
You didn’t think to stop until you were through

The suffering we faced was beyond declaration
As bit by bit you overran our small nation
You then fed us with a petrifying drug
And placed us in gardens carefully dug

You neither fed us or bathed us unless it rained
And even sent out your dogs dutifully trained
I still shudder each time I see one lift its leg
Pouring upon us like it just drank a keg

Season after season we stood in place
Facing humiliation and total disgrace
We were all vulnerable and with no protection
from what the squirrels wanted in their collection

lets just say most of us went from tenors to sopranos
and it wasn’t with the help of magic pianos
So yes in fear we left your computer in disarray 
Cause we found out you advertised us on ebay
