The Grinch 
Didn’t move an inch.
His wife yelled, "If you don't decorate the Christmas tree, 
I'll bite your knee."

Which Grinch Stole Christmas

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

Premium Member Every Scrooge or Grinch

Every scrooge, or grinch, or grouch
that I watch on TV from my couch,
the Christmas spirit, one day, redeems. 
I'm the exception - so it seems.

March 17th

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.

Premium Member 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.

Premium Member Santa's Magic Pill

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

Premium Member The Grinch

The Grinch
has habits that make humans flinch.
One is rubbing himself with onions to create his favorite scent,
knowing but not caring it is public torment.

Premium Member North Pole Troubles

Santa's wife said, "You've gained an inch!", 
and gave his fat belly a pinch.
"The inches I want 
are hard", she did taunt.   
No wonder she's seeing The Grinch.

Premium Member Christmas Shiss Muss

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.

Premium Member The Grinch

That unusual creature known as the Grinch
tried to steal Christmas right down to the inch.
The people of Whoville cared not a whit.
They had Christmas spirit, you have to admit!

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

Premium Member Bah Humbug

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!

Premium Member Christmas Eve Blind Date

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.

The Grinch

There once was a grumpy, green Grinch;
His heart measured merely an inch!
The songs of the Who's did annoy him-
'Til Cindy Lou convinced him to join them!

Premium Member Lets Trick Or Sweet At the Grinch House

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

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

Premium Member Kitty Tries To Intimidate Us

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

Premium Member A Lynching For Santa

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 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.

Premium Member The Grinch

In a wintry hollow, atop Mount Crumpit, dwelled Max and The Grinch, 
A dog and his master of mischief, whose heart measured an inch,
And beared a soul of zero dimensions, tented by a teardrop physique, 
The villainous Who who'd snuck away with Christmas to his frosty peak.

Premium Member Coup De Coeur

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.

Premium Member Glamma Grinch Likes Boys the Best

Glamma Grinch will be here soon!
Original Grinch was over the moon
Not so much his sister Sue
She never likes me, she always likes you

Glamma Grinch came in wearing fur
She turned to Original Grinch and began to purr
Sister Sue tried to get her attention by squeaking.
“Be quiet,” said Glamma.”My boy is speaking.”
