you may have guessed that I had a minor run-in with the gnomess....she would like to freakily control the entire neighborhood....and did her dirty deed in a most duplicitous manner.....I objected to her unreasonable and officious ways...told her so....and wrote some poems about how I felt and how I assessed the situation.....they were humorous...well, in my own way they were....those who saw and read them, posted on our lane's bulletin board were laughing.....she'd objected to my garage sale....I cautioned those who entered this area that they were in a spontaneity-free zone....oh, some of it rhymed...some didn't....I made my point...and have since removed the postings....this was a while ago.....all is calm on the surface, oh so normally....and cordiality again reigns.....it's not particularly comforting to have it rudely affirmed that one's observation of a person's innate character is correct...but it is always good to know who can be trusted....and can't we all be...to be ourselves.....'.>)
