Notes About The Poem

1/4/2026 for Any Short Form 2026 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

No Rest for Grinches

At last, the Christmas hubbub is gone,
and I can take the reindeer in from the lawn. 
This grinch can finally relax...
Oh no!  It's time for income tax.

I enjoyed reading your fun write. Yep, the reindeer must hibernate for the next eleven months. Do not remind me about taxes. "Good Luck" with the contest. Have a fun day writing away.............
