Who Stole Christmas?

A Grinch Treat

Who Stole Christmas?

 
Anyone who’s anyone
in Whoville, will tell you
​​​​Who indeed doesn’t live in whoville?

He has a terrible grin upon his chin
He lives on a mountain in a cave, so grim
 
He always finds ways
To make all children sad
With his mindless thoughts,
He’s just bad, bad, bad
 
T’was the night before Christmas
And the whole town was quiet
Until, the Grinch arrived
Causing a riot
 
Stealing the presents
From everyone’s homes
Even from gardens, he took all the Gnomes
 
That terrible Grinch
Took every last present
From the lanes
The toyshops
And all of the crescents
 
No one could stop him
He’s very clever, you know
He sneaks into homes
Boots filled with snow
 
Rummaging round
Taking cookies, left for Prancer
The milk that’s been waiting
For Rudolf and Dancer
 
Heeeeeee Heeee he hee he he …
Was all, the poor children could hear
From under their covers
Shivering in fear
 
Hoping for miracles
That soon he’s far away
Hoping, that Santa
will soon save the day
 
T’was the night before Christmas
And everyone cheers
When Santa arrives
With all nine reindeer
 
That horrible Grinch went off on his own
Echoes are heard, of his far away groans 
He eats Christmas Turkey
And Pumpkin Pie
 
He’s thankful for misery
And his house way up high.

Your poem captures the essence of the Grinch’s bad nature perfectly. The rhyming structure flows well and the repetition of the Grinch’s actions builds a sense of tension, which is both humorous and thrilling. The imagery you’ve used, like "boots filled with snow" and "cookies left for Prancer," creates a fun, vivid scene that keeps readers entertained. The twist at the end, where Santa arrives to save the day, wraps up the poem nicely, giving it a satisfying conclusion. You’ve done a great job in creating a playful yet somewhat suspenseful atmosphere!

LOL I adore Dr Suess I've been reading his books to small children for 30 years, the night before Christmas is one of my faves too. Love the American culture of Christmas especially the literature. Thank you so much. 🌹

Ah I've spent quite a few years in Dublin at Christmas and I have to say some of the best of my life, I get that some like the Grinch I'm married to one myself, I'd do anything to ruin his Christmas by being bright and jolly 🤣 thank you so much for coming by here again. 🌹

It sounds like the new First Citizen of the USA. A grim prospect indeed. Nice Write. 🙂

LOL I just found this, yeh I believe the Grinch to be so much better behaved than the first citizen of the USA and I also believe Grinch is a lucky one to live on the hill away from the bright orange sun-of a-bum in Washington. 🤣
