Which Grinch Stole Christmas

You may gain inches
Feel big waist when it pinches
Which Grinch stole Christmas.

March 17th is a day for green
There is quite a simple routine
Wear green or get a pinch
Or don't and be a grinch
Remember, there's no in-between....

Santa met him in Port-au-Prince
he was down, that scheming ol’ Grinch
	blue pill did the trick
	the Grinch got up quick
and they’ve been besties ever since...

Christmas shiss muss.
Holiday. Bolliday.
Lights. Shmights!
Scrooge is here, whispering
In my ear.
Grinch is pushing on
Him, angry.
Welcome to my mood
Pre-coffee....

Little Cindy Lou Who
Won’t let the Grinch be blue
optimist for sure
her heart is utterly pure

She expects the best
At Whoville Christmas Fest
Grinch comes around
Happiness is found...

Beware the ol' Grinch, for it’s a cinch
Into your Christmas, he’ll throw a wrench
He loves to belittle
With poo-poo and piddle
Wherever he goes he leaves a stench.

A Grinch in a hamlet of Whovilles

Stole credit cards, ringing up big bills

     Without checking price tags

     He murmured, “Bah, Scumbags”

For this is how grinches get their thrills!

Her Christmas Eve blind date would not give an inch
That they argued about everything was quickly a cinch
She would not ever date him again; not even in a pinch
Weirdly enough, he also looked exactly like Dr Seuss’s Grinch....

Let’s trick-or-sweet at the Grinch’s house the elves said.
I hear he’s got Covid, maybe he is worse? Maybe he is dead.
I am not sure, but his fudge is delicious, stated cousin Elf Ned.
We trick-or-sweeted there, and it was delicious – green and red,...

Red fish? Blue fish?
Color blindness?
Dr. Seuss was at his finest
Lorax orange or Grinch lime green
And all the colors in between
Creatures of all kind of hues
Teaching us the DON'Ts and DOs
For in his world you always find
Every thing is color blind

Kitty wanted to intimidate someone today
She put on a Grinch costume and wandered away
Gave us a strut, a wiggle and a sashay
Trying her best to intimidate me, Mary and Fay
We laughed our petootsies off and began to bray
Thinking she looked ridiculous in this get up today...

Santa went out last night dressed as the Grinch. 
Partied too much got into a tight pinch. 
Woke with aching hangover.
Mrs. Santa, boil-over, 
Bells ringing, threaten with deer's reins to lynch.

Trump Critical of the Grinch

Trump has been critical of the Grinch,
And poor thing he will want to bench;
From beginning,
Scoreless inning;
For Trump to lose is an absolute cinch.
(Chicken neck we would like to wrench.)

Even Santa would ho, ho, ho at this one....

It would never be the same
this heart, aching in the moment,
growing “a la Grinch”,
seeded with a look, a gaze
gossamer, this veil of lust
this gentle coup of crown and throne
this empty castle - drawbridge down.

The Grinches Christmas

Date: Fri, Dec 4 2015 at 3:32 PM

Coming through "Whoville"
Bout to give these Fools "Chills"
Got Ivan Ooze "Thrilled"
I don't think everyone know "Ghouls" "Real"
Cindy Lou in "Tears"
Cause the Grinch Revenge Severe
The Grinch been plotting for a few "Years"...

The Grinch and his gal stole a tree.
She played with his snowy goaty.
They took all the food
and presents. Not good!
Their spree gave them holiday glee.

The bars at the North Pole ho hum.
It’s warmed by the coal and the bum.
He’s green with his thought
And blue he’s been caught.
The Gal with his bail has not come.

I want a baby Grinch doll Melody said.
Her grandmother had no idea it was so ugly.
She went online and tried to find a better looking one.
She qualified it “does it have a green face?”
Melody nodded. “and striped pajamas.”
Grandma was shocked because it was so hideous.
Then she watched the new Grinch movie.
She ended up buying two....

No carolling minstrels
No sparkles or tinsel.
The Grinch has a lot of good points.

Just, “how bloody awful
To not have some baubles.”
Bah! Scrooge would be proud of this joint.

My carols are wails
During holiday sales
I'll do just fine here without her.

My sparkles are tears
Every damn year
That I tossed out her favorite old Conifer....

Oh no, Santa swallowed some super glue
            The Grinch is laughing, says the Ville of who
                        No Ho, Ho, a silent night
                  Rosy cheeks now from the fright
           This Eve, the elf vowed to make no more stew

Graves of many, dreadful dark and spooky.
Spiders hung and swayed a little kooky.
Pumpkins fierce howling red glow.
Walking-dead knock blow-by-blow.
Black wild cat moved its tail slightly fluky.

Dracula went out dressed as cranky Grinch.
Drank few too many got into tight pinch.
By foot dangled the mayor,
Threw him over conveyor.
Towns people came around with rope to lynch....

I woke up in the middle of the night
Hoping Santa Claus might be in sight
I know my parents thought I was in bed so tight
But I heard a thump and I saw a light

Crept down to the living room where things were bright
A hairy green thing was halfway in my vision, my sight
I screamed when I saw that it was the Grinch, a blight
He laughed his head off and gave me a cookie that night...

We bought her a car. Thanks.
We paid for her gas for a year. All right.
We paid for her car insurance. Okay.
We said we were not decorating for Christmas.

She called us mean.
She called us a pair of Scrooges.
She posted a photo of us on her social media page
With our faces crossed with X’s.

She called my husband a “scrooge”.
On social media.
Any possibility she meant to call him a
Grinch instead?...

Laundry

Ice cream's sweet, and love is gentle,
Life in general rocks...
But there's a mystery hanging o'er us...
What happens to our socks?..

Day by day I do the laundry, 
Shirts and pants are on the square.
Blankets,sheets are always present
So is the underwear..

Yet from each pair a sock is missing...
Stolen by some Grinch or elf? 
Or do they creep away in silence
Each one leaving by himself?...
