I Want a Grinch

Then he slunk to the icebox.  He took the Who’s feast! 

He took the Who-pudding!  He took the roast beast! 

He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a flash. 

Why that Grinch even took their last can of Who-hash!

Then he stuffed all the food up the Chimney with glee.
“And NOW!” grinned the Grinch, “I will stuff up the tree!”

…And the one speck of food

That he left in the house

Was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse.

I am looking for this food stealing Grinch

To come to my kitchen, pantry and fridge.

This man who can clean out all of my goodies

And leave me with nothing from those gift-giving foodies.

A Grinch who could follow me around parties

And take from my plate all the fattening tarties.

Perhaps one day I can be an innocent Who

For which a cup of water and a pat on the head will do.
