Westside/Eastside Garden (A Gnome Soap Opera) by Beth & Kaye Warren




 Continued......



“I’ll see your shoe snake (no relation to the trouser snake) and raise you a Rose Nicolson,” squeaked Doolius Boozler, pushing forward a stolen ID card. Gnomes play Texas Hold’em with items stolen from the “Non-Gifted.” Gnomes really don’t know how to play Texas Hold’em, they couldn’t even find Texas on the European map.
                
 “What trickery is this!” squealed Fartrell Cluggins, thrusting his finger in Doolius Boozler’s face.
                
 Taking offence, Doolius Boozler protested hiccuping “Do you know who I am?”
                 
“Doolius Boozler; The Drunken Sneak. Whose mother was born on the Eastside,” sneered Fartrell Cluggins.
               
 A scuffle broke out, poker rocks were being thrown and nose biting ensued.
                 
“That enough of your rumpus” roared Burly Toeskin breaking up the fight, grabbing the rabble-rousers by their toes “You will answer to The West himself,” he avowed.
                  
“Not Quakadilly Blip,” Fartrell Cluggins and Doolius Boozler yelped, eyes round with fear.
