under your floorboards

Have you heard, heard of the gnomes
they live under your floorboards, live in your homes
They whisper ideas, ideas of both kinds
the good and the bad stuff, they whisper in minds

You never see them, so fast they seem blurred
They name themselves after the topic for what they were heard
they tattle under your floorboards, tattling is their life
Their ideas need to be heard, to get heard they do strive

See there is an old gnome, his name is his zeal
His idea was heard, it was to put cheese in a wheel
As long as the idea lives on, they are alive
If the idea grows that's when they thrive
