The Grazy Gnooky Gnats were where they were at.
They knew where they were going and that was just that.
They knew just what to do and of course how to do it.
And it would work out well if nobody blew it.
They had dinner at six and had supper by nine.
Their cooking was great and particularly fine.
But there was one Gnooky Gnat that’s not like the rest
Though he did try his hardest and gave it his best.
He had gloves on his feet and wore shoes on his hand.
He would skate at the beach and swim in the sand.
Yes this Gnooky Gnat was kooky at best.
This Gnooky Gnat was not like the rest.
The other Gnooky Gnats would sniff in dismay
And in hushed whispers they would all say:
“That strange Gnooky Gnat, he isn’t quite sane.
That strange Gnooky Gnat is sometimes a pain.
Why he isn’t the same as us Gnooky Gnats.
You could almost imagine he was a Kooky Cat.”
The strange Gnooky Gnat upon hearing this fact.
Was despondent and saddened and that was just that.
So he slunk down an alley and then round a corner.
Through a small graveyard, disturbing a mourner.
Up up and over he wondered and wandered.
“Why was it that Gnats were so obviously Crundered?
And Tundered and Mundered as well as two-pundered.
It just wasn’t fair” he wandered and wondered.
“Why if I was the mayor of my own fair town!
Whatever I did would be considered most sound.
And all those tea gnats from the town yonder.
Would be considered most strange!” He thought and he pondered.
“People would laugh and point at their feats!
Why look at them all with shoes on their feets!
Isn’t that strange? Isn’t that curious?
And all the tea gnats would then be most furious.
They would storm around and jump and shout!
‘Why did we come here? Please let us out!’
But I would respond Oh no, Oh Nay.
Now you are the strange ones so do as I say!
And they would respond with hope in their voices
‘We’re sorry we laughed when you strayed from our choices
We’re sorry ok? It was the wrong thing to do!
We never should have tried to force us onto you.
We never should have sniffed and scoffed at your ways’
Ah but you did! And now you must pay!
Then I would change them all into me!
Because then noone laughs at anyone you see.
Everyone would be the same, with all the same quirks
So the quirks would really just become small birks.
And those birks in turn would become even smaller
From quirks, birks to nothing, in that same order.
And with no quirks, or birks for that matter.
The teasing would flatten, flatter and flatter!
My utopia is perfect” The gnat would exclaim
As he rounded a corner with visions of fame.
He continued on strolling with a hop in his step
He was now ready and he was all prepped.
He would start his own town and elect himself mayor!
All he needed was some wood and some prayer.
Then he spotted the most perfect of places.
If this was a deck this would be Spade of Aces.
With dreams in his eyes and passion in his soul.
He charged onwards and fell down a hole.
The hole was quite deep and deadly as well
So he fell quite a while, he fell and he fell.
With a splat he landed and died at the bottom.
Yes I agree, the Gnat’s luck was quite rotten.
I wanted to include a heartfelt message as well.
But unfortunately fables are one thing I can’t tell.
I wanted to say about how we shouldn’t judge others.
Be accepting of all and love them like brothers.
I wanted to go on and condemn the gnat’s choice
Of turning everyone into him and quietening their voice
Oh removing all the quirks in the world or town
To make it more happy so noone would frown.
But you’ll get quite bored with gnats all the same
The whole place would be boring and really quite tame.
But I put it to you, the reader, yes you!
Wouldn’t the world be better if it was just you?
Everyone would be working towards a common goal.
No more in fighting or ripping of soul.
Are you saying you want to danger the world to make it less drab?
Are you saying to make more explosions to make it more fab?
But enough deconstructing, that’s enough for today.
The moral of the story is “Do as I say”
