Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Lampy

I am the oldest garden gnome,

Approaching two hundred years old.

Lamport Hall, England, is my home.

I'm worth million of pounds I'm told.

I was one of twenty one who

Came from Germany long ago

To the estate gardens to do

Bringing good luck as well as show.

But, alas, I'm the only one

Left of my comrades to survive,

To carry on my work and fun.

Please keep my secret, I'm alive.

When humans see me on display,

I pretend I am made of clay.
