Daily challenge -garden Gnome

Muzz

Hard and painted reluctant warders
Tiny slaves with terracotta tushes
Tasked to guard within your borders
Force to live beneath your bushes
only free once they are martyrs

Always ready to fulfill their roles
With unending expressions of pleasure
Holding smoking pipes or fishing poles.
Frozen in poses of permanent leisure,
Tiny trapped guardian souls
