I have a lavish garden, and from time to time I spot a figure.
It’s about a foot tall, and has a thin face with a long thin, neatly trimed beard. I can never see it’s eyeballs, only it’s brow. On it’s head it has a small top hat.
It always stands motionless, and looks like a statue. It is very serious and has no emotion on it’s face. To the point of being disturbing.
Sometimes I can hear it talk. It’s voice sounds like a speaker.
From time to time I can see it running across my lawn.
Sometimes sitting in my tree.
On one occasion I was right up close to it and it was in side of a bush. It’s back was turned toward me, and it’s butt was sticking out of the bush.
That time I laughed.
I don’t like looking at it’s face though. it bothers me.
When I’m sleeping at night, I can hear it on sometimes. It sounds like a speaker horn from far away.
My grandparents have one of these they painted white. It holds a fishing rod. It is very racist.
If you venture into the depths of West Virgina, you will see quite a few of these. And Confederate flags (which I never really understood, since, you know, WV pulled a double-secession and ended up going with the Union).
Dear sandbog2 you dont have a garden gnome.
You have schizophrenia…
thats nothing.
over here we have a set, one black guy figurine and one white dutch figurine, the black figurine has his arms in front of his face like his fending something off and the white guy has a whip.
in the evening time you can sit in your garden and press on a button of your remote control, their eyes light up, you hear whipping sounds and soft muttering, while the white figurine is laughing.
not very p.c. if you ask me.
