It started with a spark, an idea, a hunch,
“I suppose Whoville is busy today,
Being such a joyous bunch”
The Grinch wandered outside to see what he could see,
“No doubt an Easter celebration,
Another party – without ME”
He peered down on the village expecting a scene,
But what he saw – or didn’t see,
Made his fur show ripples of green,
No Easter parade, no eggs being hid,
He sat back and wondered,
“Was it something I did?”
He looked down and noticed a solitary egg,
just sitting there unopened,
against his green hairy leg,
He opened it slowly, not knowing what to think,
Inside was a message,
Written brightly in pink,
It was attached to a mask, to cover his face,
He lifted it up,
As his heart began to race,
It fluttered and flapped because it was so windy,
But in between flips,
He saw a note, from Cindy,
“Please wear this for now, to stay safe”
she said,
“Keep your distance and stay healthy, it’s important”
he read,
With a tear in his eye and warmth in his heart,
He made a pledge to himself and Whoville,
To remain safe – and do his part…
Happy Easter
Stay Safe
