A Grinch Remembers

A Grinch Remembers I’ll don my favorite bowing cape spread it wide and let it drape create its own “you are so great” unless in line I have to wait to feed the egos, let them sate on scattered food, spread on the plate to celebrate his passing date. He dipped his pen in childish ink dressed the Lorax twins in pink the Grinch in green he made a stinker Green Eggs and Ham to stir your thinker and Cindy Lou, not more than two made us wonder “what would we do?. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish allowed us to draw gooey goo fish. How can he be gone, yet still be here? Perhaps he’s not gone anywhere Perhaps he’ll always be as near as a Who and a Grinch with a book to share. ©3/5/2019 Honoring Dr Seuss Poetry Contest Michelle Faulkner - sponsor
