The Tragedy of Gnome Peter


Poor Gnome Peter came down with a fever.
But nobody helped, me neither.
So he went to his friend The Grim Reaper
Who was filled with the silence of a griever

Gnome Peter told him his tale of woe.
He had no home, and was laughed at by the other Garden Gnomes.
His hat was crooked and his knees were bruised by grass.
He needed to do something, and it had to be fast.

Gnome Peter tried to walk
But he couldn’t
no, not even a meter

So he sat down and cried
Because no matter how hard he tried
He felt like he had died

The Grim Reaper put his hand around Peter and said
“You are special, yes you are a leader.”
