» Brunate - A poem for children

Elizabeth, I read your article on gnomes with interest. I write children's poems and, this week, before I read your article, I had written this poem. I hope readers will enjoy it, and may like to read to their children other story poems.

WHY ARE GARDEN GNOMES MADE OF STONE?

The gnome said:

"Oh, sweet little fairy, give me your wand."
"No" said the fairy with hair that was blonde.
"It's magic, it's special - it has secret powers."
Alarmed, she then hid amidst the blue flowers.

He then turned to the fairy whose hair was red:
"Give me your wand", were the words that he said.
"Oh no, she replied, "Don't bother me so."
We've said no already. You really must go."

He became quite impatient and asked fairy three:
"Your wand's what I want! Just hand it to me!"
But this annoyed fairy said: "Just leave us alone!"
Waving her wand, she turned all gnomes to stone.
