I Wonder What He'd Say...

As I sit and examine this gnome I have, I am immediately drawn to the question mark on his hat. It is big and bold, as to send a giant question to the world. His strange hat makes you think of all the questions this gnome could answer if he was asked. Who are you? Where are you going? Why do you not look directly at me? There are just so many questions that this tight lipped little gnome could answer. He is a contradition all together. He is quiet and to himself, yet he speaks loudly with his question mark hat.  I wonder why this gnome is alone. He looks like a cheerful fellow, yet his eyes do not look directly at you when he faces you. Is this to suggest his social discomfort? Or is he sad and does not want to show it? This little gnome seems so simple, yet he is so complex. He holds many secrets and many adventures he does not share. He is a silent informant, always seeing; yet never speaking. Holding it all in like a sponge. He is a brave hearted little adventurer, yet a bashful fellow. I wonder what he'd say to me if he could speak?
