Freeze-frame Fred of the Gnomes

Here's something that's rarely fathomed
a thing that's been left unsaid,
but, there is actually a King of the Gnomes
and they call him, Freeze-frame Fred.

He keeps a rather low profile
as he's merely the King of the "pawns",
he's foreverly been fashioned in five different colors
for out standing on everyone's lawns.

He has no special powers
popularity has given him fame,
he may be in charge of all the other Gnomes
but, moderocity is his only game.

He lives by his stoic example
of standing still for all to see,
so when someone takes a quick glance at your lawn
they notice Fred, just standing still by a tree.

And, really it's rather important
him standing still, while he hums a Gnome song,
for if he moved, while someone snapped a picture
then the snapshot would of course, come out wrong !

He merely stands still for days on end
braving the evening chill, every night,
he's gained some recognition for Travelocity
for staying motionless, which he does so very right !

Other than those brief appearances
in commercials, here and there...
they sell his likenesses in nursery's
and sometimes, even the County fair.

With absolutely no indignation
and with no traits that would greatly astound,
Freeze-frame Fred will go down in history
for his great patience, and for standing his ground !
