I love the word "gnome," and I like your parody.

some things are just automatically funny... you had me at the title

Brilliant, I agree whole-heartedly. The only thing more disturbing than gnomes are troll dolls.

I don't recall Tolkein writing about a great war between Elves and Gnomes, but it would explain why they left Middle Earth and settled on people's lawns, permanently immobilized due to Elven magic. Five lightning bolts.

I'm think of bowling and using lawn gnomes as the pins.

Ann, be on the lookout tomorrow for a parody written just for you! And Arwen.

I was chuckling by "Gnomes!/ Fishing in the garden/ Gnomes!/ Now my anger's startin'".......giggling by "And that one looks the same to me/ As one hiding behind a tree"......and howling by "But I'll keep my distance instead/ Like my probation couns'lor said"

A glorious slice of silliness. BRAVO! 555+

I guess Gnome isn't where the heart is

All the gnomes should be shipped to Nome (Alaska). With your probation counsellor. Very well done and entertaining.

shread?.....Arwen!....(maybe you had "thread" in your "head") - not often does a title alone make me look forward to a parody, but I knew this would be good, and the points you lost for "shread" were more than regained by "glower" and "ast'roid shower" - wish I'd thought of this idea - 555

John...=) Thanks very much...I'm glad you like it.

Alvin...so you're saying I didn't even have to write the parody? MAN! I wish I'd known before I lost so much sleep over it last night...; )

Matthias...I would take a troll doll over a garden gnome any day. Seriously. But I'm glad we're on the same page...=)

Michael...=) I was waiting for someone to make such a reference..I should have known it would be you. ; ) Thanks!

Ann...nice...here's hoping you pick up every spare...=)

Michael...again...oh gosh...I'm on the edge of my seat. Already.

Kristof...see, that logical progression of funniness thing I was going for seemed to have worked. Woohoo!! =) I'm glad you liked it.

Matthias..again...oh groan. That's something Jeff would say. Where is that guy, anyway?

John...hee! Thanks a ton!

Stuart...I'm hanging my head in shame. Seriously. I am ASTOUNDED that I did that. My gosh. In my defense, this one wandered into my head earlier in the week, halfway developed and then wouldn't leave me alone. I got home late last night, but just HAD to see if I could finish it. So..."shread" was a product of parody writing, at the computer, at 1:00 in the morning, after working all day and only getting 5 hours of sleep the night before. But yeah...still no excuse. I'm such a freaking loser. Thanks for pointing that out. ; )

my plesure - I've been walking round with a smug grin on my fase all day :-)

555! So you'd like to send 'em all to Gnome Man's Land? ;-)

Stuart...well, that's how you always walk around, isn't it? ; )

Johnny...nice...=) Thanks.

Arwen!! Nice to see you again! =) Seems like it's been forever. As for me, I've had a rather hectic month of March, which is mainly why I haven't had time to come around here. Anyway I just happened to read through this brilliant parody of yours, which I will award with a 5-5-5 vote. Hopefully I will have gnome more stressful days for a while! ;)

I didn't think it was possible, but sounds like someone has little man's syndrome =) A great followup to Gnome, Gnome on the range! 5s.

Ab-gnome-ally funny.

Serafina...it has been a long time. I am trying to get back into the swing of my parody life...but my other life keeps getting in the way. =( Here's hoping this is a step in the right direction. Jeff...=) Thanks a bunch. PMS...nice! Thank you!
