Dear Miserable Wasters of Winter,
You human children have no concept of what winter is for. We the gnomes tire of your constant snowman building, sledding, and throwing of snowballs at each other. Every gnome warrior worth his salt in battle knows that snow is only to be thrown at one creature on this planet, the Woodland Fairies!
For we the noble gnomes prefer not to throw “snowballs,” but to make giant snow boulders that we launch at the Woodland Fairies from our mighty catapults that we made from your Dad’s bungee cords and the trees in your backyard. I should also point out that we the gnomes also strongly believe that all snow boulders that we fling at those disgusting do-gooders should be the gnomes’ sacred color of war, yellow.
Now one might think that these yellow boulders of gnome fury would discourage the Woodland Fairies from flying over our sacred lands, but sadly they have not gotten the point. This is why we the gnomes have hatched our most brilliant plan to find new allies to help us crush the Woodland Fairies once and for all.
We the gnomes have returned to your jail to once again get all of the disgusting things that are made in your food place so that we can combine that trash with snow and begin making the most disgusting yellow snow boulders known to the entire mythical creature world. There is just one problem, Michael Westerholm III, Director of Food Services.
The only way that we can have control of your food place is if we find some way to overpower this Westerholm person. So we the gnomes have decided there is only one creature that can help us conquer the food place, Sloppy Joe. How might a thing you call a “sandwich” aid us in our quest? We the gnomes believe that a talking sandwich would strike fear in the heart of the Westerholm person and he would decide to move to Idaho or Belize.
How will we bring a sandwich to life you might ask? The answer is quite simple what creatures are so dense and good-natured that they will bring anything to life that they think is happy? The Woodland Fairies!
Last night we the gnomes journeyed to your jail and built the cutest and friendliest looking snowman that the fairies have ever seen. We the gnomes know how much those Nimble Numbskulls love to bring things to life, especially snowmen. What those annoying pests didn’t know was that on top of the snowman was none other than Sloppy Joe.
When the Woodland Fairies brought the snowman to life and flew away they also brought our greatest ally to life, Sloppy Joe, the true Lord of the Lunchroom. At once we the gnomes, were glad to know this creature for like us he is very sloppy and also thinks Michael Westerholm III, is overrated. Victory over the fairies and the Westerholm person will be ours.
The only flaw in our plan was the fact that the Woodland Fairies did indeed bring the snowman to life. He told us his name was Lester Perrywinkle and then he wanted to sing us a song. We the gnomes do not like snowmen or their awful songs so we pushed him into the sun with the hope that he would melt.
What we the gnomes, didn’t realize is that once those awful fairies bring something to life, it stays that way even if you try to melt it. Lester Perrywinkle is now a talking puddle that follows us everywhere we go. He will drip on our noses to wake us up to ask how we are feeling. This is terrible and also easy to answer. There is only one feeling that any gnome ever has, rage, all of the time because of the Woodland Fairies!
Because of Lester we the gnomes demand you not ask questions when you discover a bucket of water in your deep freeze and if it asks you how you feel, just ignore him.
Long Live Sloppy Joe,
Betrand G. Fizzywillow Chief of the Gnomes
