Poem about the mean, old Grinch visit in Detroit.

The Grinch stopped in Detroit

For a visit one day.

Ah, high unemployment,

What more can I say?

The economy is dismal.

Transportation is a mess.

And the bridges are crumbling.

How much more can I be blessed?

The stores are empty.

No shoppers are around.

And foreclosed signs

Litter the ground.

Yes, there will be little of holiday cheer

When your old pal the Grinch

Stops by this year.

    Why does the Grinch steal my Christmas every year :( … Times are improving. I hope the Grinch doesn’t have fun anymore. Great piece :)

    I’ve had my past couple of Christmases stolen by the Grinch.
