Mr. Grinch Is A Mean One

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch!- The reader is showing how much he can’t stand Mr.Grinch
You have termites in your smile- He has a nasty smile, Metaphor
You have all the tender sweetness-Mr. Grinch has no sweetness, Metaphor
Of a seasick crocodile- Shows a crabby crocodile is as sweet as Mr.Grinch
Mr. Grinch!
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch!
You're a nasty, wasty skunk!- Comparing him to a skunk which makes him seem unwanted, Metaphor
Your heart is full of unwashed socks- This refers to smelly heart, Allusion
Your soul is full of gunk- His soul is horrible and washed up, Personification
Mr. Grinch!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk!"Alliteration
