Mr. Gnome's home

Often, we overlook the difference between “house” and “home”. They both are used mostly the same way; but what most people don’t realise is how home means more than a roof over your head. To keep things interesting let me explain things in a more Dr. Seuss kind of way... Mr. Gnome is looking a home, not a dome or some chrome, not even bogabigabalome. Mr. Gnome went up to a apartment, sold by Mr. Compartment. “I'm so glad I sold this place it just felt like an empty space.” Mr. Gnome continued on his way.
Mr. Gnome went up to a shack inhabited by Mrs. Knack. “I don’t feel safe but it's all I can afford! If I leave, my son named Cristaford will have nowhere to stay!” sadly Mr gnome walked away.
Mr. Gnome thought about the people he just saw, feeling bad about their feelings so raw, but that’s the reason why Mr. Gnome wants a home. A place to feel all emotions big and small A place to feel memories one and all A place to feel safe and secure A place that comes with you every which-way you go.
