Backyard

I washed and folded all of your laundry
I fixed that sink with the leak
I left you some meals in the freezer
Enough to last you a week

So maybe when the weather is warmer
And you have a day that is free
That!
You should come and visit me.

Oh, nope! Can't leave my buddy here alone.
The gnome is keeping you here?
Well, yup.

The garden gnome's life isn't easy
This terracotta rots in the turf
Once I went away for a weekend
That't great!
Some neighbours painted him like a smurf
I need to be here to protect him
I'm kinda like his bodyguard
I'm better off in my backyard

I gotta run to the store and pick up some touch up paint
Ok- You're coming with me.
