There was a dusty gnome in Vienna,Decided to land with the ducks

Much of what he dad seen in travelWas never written in books

His name was NILSThe same as that one of SelmaHe never took sexy pills

And loved a lady called Thelma

One day when clouds were passingIn his dusty Self of his thought

Decided to be a giantAnd changed whatever he got

Don’t worry my dear Thelma

He saidBe ready to come with me to Miami

And live for a while with Belma

With Lilly, with Poppy and DannyTogether in pools and the sea

Life style in tropical lands is funnyAnd is better to accompany me . . .

One day when all ships were ready

He left on a surf table the shoreAnd sliding afar firm and steady

He looked back nevermore

Oh, ducks, and swans and eagles,Take me on your back to the Pole.

I’d better remain frozen like BeagleInstead of having a home on the shore

 No trip was more excitingThan this one straight to the Moon

When flight was smooth and ignitingHe landed on that mythical Spoon

To have plenty of money

I ate mushroom, walnuts and breadDon’t look at my lips full of honey

I’m starving of meat instead

Comments are coming from castlesSome gentlemen are worried much

Haw dare and pretend a monkeyTo be a herald, umpire, or such . . .

They raise armies and soldiersTo fight against that Dusty GnomeOh ! Dear ! Ea!

They are like innocent people at home

You have to be a soldierIn order to fight the Big Gnome

It is sufficient a swordHe’s waiting at his holy Dome

Architects need only a brick

To make cathedrals and vaultsDo not expect that the Gnome

Would take in account your faults

He’s generous and plentyOf splendid gifts for the Soul

Let’s say that SilenceIt is his maximal vow

Allow me to present that Gnome

To your Father in LowI’d like to ask you, my lady

Your hand, your wonderful bow

 No need of witnesses and parties

It’s just a SUB ROSA showWe gather at my Dusty Castle

I need a horse not a cow

Poetical Horse I said

To caress his mane with my handDon’t care of what other say

That I belong to some outlaws band

I am the husband you long forThe friend with many wonderful deeds

It is not beyond of my ken to adore

A witch, an enchanted girl from the weeds

Together we may travel and starve

Take long trips on the wonderful seaFor you I would carve a big stone

To contemplate it as a fee

I play with my hawk on the poleOf that mine so enchanted boat

I wear just a ranciful coatWith diamonds under my sole

Come, just come and sail on the sea

With this funny and fanciful GnomeAnd even you hear other to blame

Believe me I would take you at home

My Sky has many abodesWith rooms full and plenty of books

I fight against hands with hooksAgainst words hidden in codes

Against soldiers who want to take you back

I would not accept the tradeIt is neither riches nor gold that I lack

A Chrystal Castle I made

Believe me, please come and seeThe window is open and clean

I am the Tyler, the Guard of the doorJust come and look at me

When sunrise together is seen

The ocean looks so calmA lake on a mountain valley

A hut, a tree, sand and a palm

Retrieve, return, and stay in the middleBecome one with me and wait

Your name would be She-Dusty- GnomeAccept this as your wonderful fate

And so, an instant will come

Our Island of wonders shall beA place where everybody would see

How man and women make some

Wonderful DomeSilent Home

A Chrystal and Golden Book TomeAbode of that Dusty Gnome
