The Grinch who stole my Brain
By Lisa J. DuBose
Twas the week of Christmas
And all through our home
The kids were excited
In a large place to roam.
Preparations being made
Decorations are hung
Cookies all baked
And carols all sung
School’s become fun
For math’s in the baking
Art’s in creating
The gifts we are making
Science is watching
The snow fall down
And learning that water
Is frozen around
History lies
In the memories we make
The Bible stories
In the morn as we wake
But reading, O reading
We must read on
Not the classics, just stories
But their brains were all gone!
What is this word, Mom?
What’s t-h-e?
And how do you say
A-N-D?
I can’t remember
Is it should or “sh-ow-d”
Oh my! It is all
A great big gray cloud!
O-F- is it of
Is it off or for?
Reading Amelia Bedelia
What a bore what a snore!
The Christmas Grinch
Has stolen my brain!
I cannot read anything
I shouldn’t complain!
The excuse that I have
Is a sad one but true
The Christmas Grinch stole
My brain! Woo- Hooo!
