Grinchy Finch

Grinch Finch I once was hired to use a winch to wrap it’s chain around a tree a tree that held a frightened cat I knew that this would be a cinch for nothing ever worried me I didn’t know there was a finch who nested there and what a grinch and then I felt a little pinch an assault that made me flinch my facial muscles gave a squinch who is this angry bird so meek to threaten me with its small beak the cat was saved and I had vowed to wear this moment like a shroud and never speak of it out loud no more to use a winch and flinch or squinch because of a small pinch by anger of a grinchy finch who woudn’t even give an inch What Makes You Flinch Poetry Contest Sponsored by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver June 16 2019

Love this whimsical write! I flinched when I lingered too long to tap into my phone the bird I took a picture of in the garden. The red-winged blackbird dragged his wing across my back...message received! Congratulations, Ralph!
