I love the Grinch and after reading some stories I decided I would write my own or rather a poem.

I hopy you enjoy! :D.


The Reason Why The Grinch Hated Christmas

Now the reason the Grinch hated Christmas, is not what you think

It wasn't because he was bullied in school

He was not bitter to the people of Who's ville in anyway

It was because many years ago, round Christmas Eve

He lost the love of his life and since then he's never been the same

Yes the Grinch had a wife, don't be surprised

Even a man covered with fur from head to toe, can find true love

His wife had fallen ill and did not get better

He worried every night praying that she would not leave him

They had grown up together, sticking with each other

through the thick and the thin

It wasn't until he was eighteen that he built up the courage to ask her out

She said yes of course and he asked her to marry him on Christmas Eve

From that point on that was their night to do as they pleased

Christmas morning is the day

his wife passed away

The day his shrunk two sizes too small

The day he lost who he was and never regained it

Even after he stole Christmas and gave it back

He was never the same as the first day Christmas lost all it's cheer

Yet every year at Christmas and on her birthday he visits he grave

The noise, of the noise coming from Who's ville every time the Christmas season comes along

Finally he can take it anymore

So he comes up with a scheme, a marvelous scheme

A scheme to steal Christmas

So he could finally have peace on that dreadful day

The day he lost his life

And his life fell in disarray

Every night he dreams of her and wakes up crying

He reaches over to pull her close to him, but she is not there

She hasn't been for years

His heart aches for her, and his mind screams "KILL YOURSELF! Then you can be with her again."

If not for that sweet little girl Cindy Lou Who

He probably would have hung himself

But though his heart has grown to full size

But his heart will forever ache for his one true love

His Wife Ivy

The Apple of his eye

The Lily of his valley

The Twinkle in his eye

The only woman who didn't mind his appearance

The one who loved him no matter what

Yet he won't go back to the depressing place

Knowing that Ivy would not approve if he did

She had never liked to see him in pain

But now he feels her presence wherever he does go

He feels her in his hear, his mind, his soul

And he can't wait for the day when he see her once more

only then would he truly be able to laugh and cry tears of joy. He wouldn't need to feel depressed, sour, angry and mean

Until then he must wait

Till he sees his ivy once more

That is when he will love Christmas once

When he spends it with the one he went to

His lovely wife Ivy

Who's is an angel in the sky watching over him.
