Another Dr. Suess

Yes! I got into another compilation "Baby Shoes"....here is the kickstarter if you ever wished to have a look at one...

I'm doing the TIW Christmas Special Quickies this year, and on Day 5 the theme is "How the Grinch stole Christmas", with a few elements (Brian Rogers as The Grinch, a 10 and a half foot pole, 5 gold rings, the roast beast)

So, here is mine :-)
On the site (http://theironwriter.com/the-twelve-days-of-christmas-day-5/)
But also here...

Every Iron

In Iron Writer Land

Loved procrastinating a lot.

But Brian Rogers

Who dressed as the Grinch

Did NOT!

Brian hated procrastinating! That whole waste of time!

He'd sit there and watch and say "That's a crime!"

"Who cares about who did who and why and when,

If all you ever get to know is the size of their pen!

One with a twinkie, another a 10 and a half foot pole,

It's kinda sad if that is your goal..."

But

With Christmas ahead,

All the presents, the feast,

He ignored his revulsion and sliced up the roast beast,

Procrastinating with the best of the worst,

He laughed, he joked, he quenched their thirst,

By commenting on all photos and quotes and desires,

He kept everyone happy, no anger, no fires.

"Though I'll tell ya one thing," he mumbled with grins,

"I'll stop when anyone mentions those damn 5 gold rings!

'Cause one thing I hate more than all,

Is those 12 bloody days and those birds that call!"

(Of course, totally UNTRUE! Brian likes to procrastinate with the worst...sorry, the best of us :-))
