Morris the Gnome?  As MPL Director?!

In What Imaginary Universe?

Okay, I don't mean to be harsh, but if Morris is my new boss, then I'm SOOOO outta here!

False alarm!  Crafty Gal has given moi the inside story.  Apparently, Morris is simply reading in our directors' gallery.  I guess all the reading tables were already taken.  Being a gnome (and, presumably, magical), he can levitate himself up there.  Or it's transparent tape.  Either way, Morris will be hanging out all next week as part of Crafty Gal's ongoing program for her early literacy kiddies to find.  Clever hiding spot, really.  The best place to hide is sometimes right out in the open.

P.S.  Lucky for us here at MPL, Morris the Gnome will NOT be our new boss.  But it got moi thinking about "Boss Man," by Gordon Lightfoot, from his LP Did She Mention My Name? (1968).

The MPL Indiana Roving Reporter Room has a new squatter.  Well, almost.

So, what's the deal with this dude?  BTW, he looks like "Flat" Morris.  Just saying.

Word to the wise, bearded fellow.  Don't mess up my books and other things.  I'll be watching.  We have a security camera, and Cauliette is ever vigilant.

P.S. [Reprised from a previous blog post.] "Teeny Tiny Gnome" (1966) was intended as comic relief on the second Monkees album, but Don Kirshner, who had been hired to supervise the group's music, nixed the tune in favor of other fare from his stable of songwriters. "Teeny Tiny Gnome" finally appeared on the compilation album The Monkees Missing Links (volume one) (1987).
