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
