Grinch Wannabe Options

[Guest_Cathy_*]

  Grinch Wannabe  

A touch of mischief in bright eyes,
a naughty twist besmirches smile;
with copycatting on his mind,
he looks the picture of true guile.

His makeup would turn Snow White green,
but then, he has to do this right.
Excitement eager in his eyes,
he's picked flourescent hues for night.

He rigs himself a deer and sleigh,
I'll turn their songs to childish cries.
The town of Whoville down below
is in for quite a sad surprise.

I'll steal their trees and candles too,
their candy canes and Christmas star,
the name-stitched stockings from their hearth;
those Whozits won't know who they are.

When swooping down the mountainside
his plans go suddenly awry,
he's dumped into a huge snowdrift;
with bruised intent and mischief eyes.
