The Gnome in the Hat
I'm a gnome in a hat, and I like it like that
My style just can't be denied
Admire each feature, I’m a marvelous creature
My loveliness you can’t deride
Behold my fine chin, much to goblins akin
My nose is so sharp and unique
My eyes always bulgin’ for the food I indulge in
My diet maintains my physique
If not to your taste, then you are displaced
Leave me to my little snacks
I have no resistance, this is my subsistence
Fly fast or you’ll land in my sacks
I’m now on a hunt for each little runt
A pixie, a nymph, or a fae
These victuals yummy go right to my tummy
With twenty, I’ll call it a day
Join me thou human! There just might be room in
This forest and my hunting ground
If you don't wear head gear, you’ll find yourself dead here
Such fashion I find too unsound!
I hope you like brownies that live in the townies
They are harder to find, I admit
Please bring human ale, for ours is too stale
To wash down each delectable bit
