he wakes up in the early morn he is grouchy mean as a lout he barks at times I wonder does he have green ears and a big snout? Horns sticking out of his devilish head I bet he steals gifts to hide under his bed I had him arrested the police, they had him thoroughly tested is he just a Grinchy grouch? or a grouchy Grinch who stole all of Christmas? He is hairy and green he stole all the maple syrup it surely seems the Mounted Police have unfortunately seen he eats pancakes with brown French baked beans! Now we all know a crime has been absolutely committed we can smell the evidence thus evicted This Grinch or grouch or who knows what well he smells and yes he also pouts! He pleads and begs and begs some more please a coffee, I am just out of bed! I am not so bad, once my coffee I have had! Well, look at that angel face, he can't be all that mad! All the children came running, up to the jail laughing and dancing., at this grouch so frail let him out, let him out , they all chant and sing This is Dear Santa, not that green Grinchy grouchy old lout Even the most innocent of infants knows a morning without a cupa all would be grouchy, no one at all goes with outa double double, and a donut to take Why this is saint nick, his beard clearly shows Look at the red suit, come on, every kid knows see over there that wheel chair decked in red and 12 reindeer all ready to pull that wheelchair sled!

I literally do not care to speak, much less think (kinda the same) until I'm coffee sated so I loved the humor in this. So much to love - the rhyme, the flow and style are wrapped up a delightful and engaging poem that held steady its creative plot. ENJOYED this so much ... CayCay

Hahaha! Yes, very few people are at their "best" first thing in the morning... who would've known that Santa's just like us? (Well, except for that whole "pancakes with brown French baked beans" thing!) Very fun write! ;)
