A Short Story

Graham Gnome introduces himself in rhyme.

Graham Gnome
Graham Gnome

My name is Graham.
I am a Gnome.
I am so bored.
I’m stuck at home.

I want to swim.
I want to surf.
I need a friend.
I’ll date a Smurf.

I am off to sail,
Across the sea.
I need a cruise.
Will you go with me?

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)

  1. Before my hubby retired from law enforcement, the officers had a traveling gnome that would do guest appearances at one another’s homes, in cars or whereever. Fun poem!
