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.

Hi Cathy ! :sun:
This is a very funny poem, I love it !! Great rhyming, too.
I don't know who Grinch Wannabe is, did you invent him or is he a character from a book? Do tell, I'm an ignoramus... :blush21: I can only think of Scrooge at this moment....
Hugs, Sylvia :dove:

OH that naughty Grinch! WIll he ever learn? Setting such a bad example that some little imp would emulate him! LOL! Well, I adore the original Grinch (we call Hubster Grinch - and, I must admit, I've been accused of being Cindy Lu Who on more than one occassion! LOL!) but that Jim Carey version - ICK! I was SO disappointed! Ah well, I guess that's the plight of wannabees. They never really can obtain the status of the original! LOL! I"m just glad he got is just desserts! Tee-hee! Great job, Cathy! You show 'em!
Big Hugs, B.

Dear All, I hold Dr. Suess in very high regard. You've done him proud. Great irony in "true guile", fluorescent hues for night! Cheers, ron jgd

"...We are born into the world like a blank canvas and every person that crosses our path takes up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface. So it is that we develop. But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work. For only we can determine if we are to be just another painting or a masterpiece..." 1981 Javan (from the book " Meet Me Halfway" ) MM Award Winner
