The Grinch on My Roof

He really is kinder than he lets on

The Grinch on My Roof

He stomped on the shingles,

grinning like sin,

acting like Christmas

was his to command.

He shouted loudly,

demanding respect,

as if every snowflake

owed him a bow.

He glared at my doorway,

hands on his hips,

like he expected

biscuits and fame.

Kids waved upward,

he groaned in despair,

pretending he hated

their joy in the air.

I blew him a kiss,

he nearly fell,

tripping on sass

he didn’t expect.

He marched off muttering,

still green and proud,

but his tiny smile

betrayed him out loud.

Say Hi to him and make his day ♥️💙♥️
