Not a major problem but proper grammar is "What am gypsies?"

I think they prefer to be called "Romani"

What have the Romani ever done for us?

I think gypsies have something to do with belly dancing.

Gypsies are custodians of the unwritten knowledge of course.

Occasionally they like to transform into ponies.

Be careful of taking something gypsies give you - like their "famous" potluck - because they will be expecting payment in return.  They will even try to buy the shoes off your feet for three twigs and a polished stone.

Or they may buy Manhattan for a box full of shiny trinkets.

Oh wait, that's the Dutch.

They might have better success if they focus on the task.

Just read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo.

If they just focus on being distracted how will they feed themselves?

I suppose someone will have to distract them.
